Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IndiaOne 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 .

IndiaI 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.

IndiaWe 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.

GermanyThe 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.

United StatesThe 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).
