    Nothing particularly.

    Excellent. One of the best locations. Staff was very very helpful and welcoming. Very well looked after. Really facilitated travel and sightseeing. The personal touch was what made it all special. On our request, they made authentic home- made Kashmiri veg food for us. They guided us about Kashmiri speciality products. All in all, gave us a wonderful experience

    One looking for luxe houseboats may get better options though at a premium, this one is decent , lower mid- budget facility . But if affords the luxurious view of the beautiful Dal lake than many other houseboats ..

    Great location. At the end of the first row off the boulevard giving the most expansive abd beautiful view of the lake which no other first row boat can give . Extremely cordial and genuine owner and staff .

    I had the pleasure of staying at the White House Group of Houseboats in Srinagar, and it was an unforgettable experience. The houseboat was beautifully maintained, offering a perfect blend of traditional Kashmiri charm and modern comfort. The serene Dal Lake views from the houseboat were absolutely mesmerizing. A special mention goes to Ibrahim, who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He was always available to assist us with anything we needed, from planning our outings to ensuring we were comfortable at all times. His warm hospitality truly made us feel at home. If you're planning a trip to Srinagar, I highly recommend staying at the White House Group of Houseboats. The service, ambiance, and location make it an excellent choice for a memorable stay.

    We booked the White House house boat for one night, but we extended our stay for two more nights. The location is awesome, it gives a beautiful view of dal lake from the room itself. Owner Ibrahim is very cooperative. Shikara is available even late at night. The most important thing is, hot water is available 24 hrs. The room has an air conditioner which keeps us warm at an even 1 degree temperature. The home made food they provide is also awesome.

    Excellent, Clean and well maintained house boat. The speciality of the house boat is its location which has a full view of the Dal lake from our room window. Special thanks to the Hospitality provided by Ibrahim Bhai. He took care of us like his family. He helped us in renting bike, Shikhara ride and provided guidance throughout our trip and even before our arrival to Kashmir. We will definitely stay again with them. We are grateful and highly recommended.

    Was a good experience

    House boat was last in the series, hence we had a full view of the lake, which was not available in any other house boat. House boat owner had personally arranged our dinner of our choice. Staff of the house boat was very cordial and helpful. Most importantly the Bathroom were very clean and tidy.

    The food was a little pricey

    Stayed by at Ibrahim’s group of white house boats, for three days and two nights. It was an amazing experience and we would rate it in the below aspects: 5/5 - The location was along dal lake, overseeing the open side of the lake. No landlocked view but our windows allowed us to view the sunrise and sunset from comforts of the boat. Extremely scenic and accessibly convenient to nearby amenities, restaurants, cafes, shops etc. Very well maintained, clean, authentic boat house decor, warm and vibrantly colored textile decor, scenic boat house. Despite being on water, no complains of mosquito breeding or faul smell of the surroundings. 5/5 - The hospitality of the owner and the team was very warm, responsive to needs, and informative. Sir Ibrahim had given suggestions on itineraries and transport arrangements to consider from airport and while in Srinagar, along with options to consider. He has contacts of reliable and resourceful locals to host the stay guests. Ensured he was available and waiting for our arrival, to brief and introduce us to the stay arrangements. Ashraf bhai and Imraan bhai had been very communicative, and reliable local assets to depend on for moving around the vicinity - from rowing us across the lake to the city streets n number of times, around water markets (i.e., Meena bazaar, vegetable market) offering in-house service help with meals and water supply. Gulam Cha Cha who had driven us around the city and to and from Gulmarg while offering undeniable suggestions for restaurant options and planning for time of travels. Arrangements such as leaving bags after check outs, and discussions on alternate stay options and price packages were accommodated. 4/5 - Amenities provided were pretty decent. Wifi was available, with occasional power cuts which is not specific to the location but for the whole of Kashmir. Hot water could be requested for unlimited refills.

    The main road can be a little noisy at times.

    As this is the last houseboat on that line, it has the best views of Dal Lake. The rooms were very spacious and the property was very nice. The owner, Ibrahim was fantastic. He was very accommodating with changes due to unforeseen circumstances. He also is very helped arranged for anything that we needed: a shikhara ride, a driver to tour all around Kashmir, gondola tickets for Gulmarg (for which he also arranged for payment as we didn't have Indian bank account), and dinner at the boat (which was great).
