No easy access to shopping & outing, felt remote & idle

Stayed in April 2025

Very old beat-house located in stinky and dirty lake water.. The owner and his son are very pushy and arrogant. I felt like they followed and watched me. They are with no manners or kindness, sometimes even rude and impolite. it's difficult to sleep at night because they discuss and quarrel each other very loudly solving family problems at night, and you can hear it clearly. They kept coming into my room many times while I was out. No keys or locker. They wanted only money and more and more money from me (e.g., for drugs, for mother in the hospital, for cleaning room after check out!). Everything they offered me, like a boat trip," special" market shopping or taxi to the airport was 2 or 3 times more expensive, so it looks to me like a scam. According to my reservation, breakfast was included, but they did not serve it at all. Totally not recommend. Actually, it's the worst place during my 2 months of traveling in India.

Very pushy houseboat manager always trying to sell you something (tour packages, etc) or forcing you constantly to put an high review for them. Quite overpriced for the cheap location. At least the bathroom was clean and the bedroom big. Not recommended.

Nothing, everything was ok.

The room had everything that I needed, it was nice and clean. The location of accommodation is perfect, it is on the most touristic spot in Srinagar and you can watch boats sailing from your houseboat. The owners were really nice and friendly people, they were ready to help every time. I really enjoyed my stay in H.B. Holiday Home 😊

The father appeared very helpful at first, but then became VERY persistent in selling overpriced tours. Worst of all, he had no respect for the privacy of the guest. There were 3 times he tried to open my door (to fix things) unannounced. Fortunately, I had it locked. Later, he even barged into my room through the window. So glad I was fully dressed. Upon check-out he even asked me for BIG tips (his words). SHAME on him.

The houseboat room charges are okay. But the room is not up to the mark.

If you are looking for an authentic experience living with a local family then I recommend HB Holiday Home. Mansoor and his family took great care of me and I booked separate trips with them to Pahalgam, Sonamarg and a beautiful overnight shikara trip around Dal Lake. Hiring an ebike for 100Rs per hour from ghat number 1 was an excellent way to explore the beauty of Srinigar. I will definitely be returning to the paradise that is Kashmir, inshallah 🙏

Morning breakfast could have been better.

Had a very nice time with manzoor and his lovely family who treated me as their own, even waiting for me in the evening to have iftar together

My stay with the family was very nice and comfortable. They took very good care of me with lots of blankets, hot water flasks and tea. End of February it was still very cold. The father also gives boats tours for half day, next time in summer, I will definitely do! The son can also provide or organize drop off and pick up from airport. I will be back!

Nothing

H.B hotel is a recently renovated small hotel with about 04-06 rooms. It’s located in a DAL LAKE area of Srinagar but within a couple of kms from the main market area and other attractions are also in a 2-3 kms radius. The property has a well maintained lawn and garden which is the highlight of the place. It’s lovely to relax and spend the night in the garden. Even hot water facilities is there and hot bags are provided In the night to keep you warm We stayed in the suite, which was nicely done up. Its all wood and gives the room a very cosy feel. The suite comes wtih a main sleeping area with a double bed and a smaller room with another single bed. Ideal for a family with kids or a group of friends . Would surely love to return for another visit. The hospitality got here from Mansur Bhai is exceptional his family took care of us as we were their family 😊😊😊. I would recommend everyone to come over here and stay because this feels like home ❤️

Thanks you Manzoor bhai and his family .
