Pros:

スリナガルではハウスボート・ワイルドローズに宿泊しました。ダル湖の上という素晴らしいロケーションで、湖と山々を眺めながら過ごす時間は本当に特別でした。
スタッフの皆さんはとても親切で温かく、滞在中いつも笑顔でサポートしてくれました。カシミールでの観光ツアーや移動も手配していただき、安心して旅行を楽しむことができました。
食事もとても美味しく、朝食や夕食ではカシミールの料理を楽しむことができました。特にダル湖でのシカラ乗りは素晴らしい思い出です。

I was able to escape the heat and humidity of New Delhi by flying north to Kashmir and then back to Delhi to leave India
Pros:

It’s a very peaceful and comfortable place to unwind. Of course, it was also a very unique experience for me to live on a houseboat for five days.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Houseboat Wild Rose. Although I stayed for only one night, I truly wished I could have stayed longer. The hospitality was excellent, the room was clean and comfortable, and the mountain views were absolutely beautiful and peaceful.

Faizan and Ibrahim were fantastic hosts—very welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout my stay. Everything was great from start to finish, and I would definitely love to come back next year and stay longer.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic stay in Kashmir!

Pros:

There are lotus around the hotel area and the scenic mountains in the background. The hotel offered welcome tea and snacks on arrival. The owner guys are helpful. They even arranged us to exchange money at hotel by connecting their peers. Please be aware that it needs to take the boat/ shikhara from habour to the hotel and it takes 20mins to and from. The habour was said to be closed at 8 pm. You have to hire the boat everytime when you commute and hotel guys were happy to arrange it for you.

Cons:

Every single night we could not sleep due to unbeatable mosquitos even though we made sure we didnt open any doors or windows. So bring mosquito cream or nets.

Pros:

Wunderschöne, sehr ruhige Lage. Am liebsten wäre man ausschliesslich auf dem Hausboot und der tollen Terrasse geblieben. Sehr aufmerksames, freundliches Personal, das jederzeit darum bemüht war, dass man sich wohlfühlt. Gemütliche und saubere Zimmer. Leckeres Essen. Wenn in Srinagar, dann auf dem Hausboot Wild Rose. Vielen Dank und alles Gute!

È un luogo meraviglioso e incantevole, immerso nella calma del lago, circondato da fiori di loto e ninfee. Abbiamo passato tre giorni perfetti, accolti dal proprietario e dal suo staff gentile ed efficiente.

Pros:

I had a brilliant stay at Wild Rose, all of the team there (Amir, Ibrahim and Faizen) looked after me so well and made a big effort to make sure I had a great time. They organised day trips for me, made delicious homemade food and coordinated all of the transport to/from the airport. It's a beautifully serene setting with stunning views of the sunsets and the mountains - I would love to come back.

I had a wonderful stay at Houseboat Wild Rose.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Houseboat Wild Rose. The houseboat was clean, comfortable, and the hospitality was excellent throughout our stay.

Ibrahim and Faizan are amazing hosts—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. They organized our day trips and a trekking tour, which was one of the highlights of our visit. Faizan is very knowledgeable about trekking in Kashmir and an experienced guide. He shared interesting information about the mountains, local culture, and the region throughout our trip, making the experience even more special.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable stay, genuine hospitality, and unforgettable trekking and travel experiences in Kashmir.

Highly Recommended-A Wonderful Experience At Houseboat Wild Rose
Pros:

I originally booked Houseboat Wild Rose for just one night, but I loved my stay so much that I ended up staying for an entire week! The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. Faizan was a wonderful host, and Ibrahim was also incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help.
They organized amazing sightseeing day trips, a peaceful boat ride, and even arranged a fantastic 4-day trekking adventure, which became one of the highlights of my trip. Everything was well planned and made my visit to Kashmir truly unforgettable.
The home-cooked food was absolutely delicious—fresh, authentic, and prepared with great care every day. The houseboat offers a calm and relaxing atmosphere with breathtaking views of the mountains, the lake, and birds all around. Waking up to such peaceful surroundings was simply magical.
I highly recommend Houseboat Wild Rose to anyone visiting Srinagar. Thank you, Faizan and Ibrahim, for making me feel at home and creating such an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back!

Schönes Hausboot mitten in der Natur mit fürsorglichen Gastgebern
Pros:

Ibrahim und Faizan waren sehr gute Gastgeber. Sie haben uns auch geholfen Ausflüge zu organisieren. Die Lage des Hausbootes war aussergewöhnlich, kein anderes Boot neben dem Hausboot, die Natur konnte genossen werden. Glücklicherweise wurde kein Motorboot für die Fortbewegung genutzt sonder nur das Paddel. Das Essen war aussergewöhnlich gut und frisch zubereitet. Von Amin wurden wir aufmerksam betreut. Die traditionelle Inneneinrichtung bot einen speziellen Charme. Der Aufenthalt auf der Terrasse war besonders am Morgen und am Abend sehr schön.

Cons:

Die Beschreibung der Unterkunft ist nicht ganz korrekt, es gibt kein Whirlpool/Jacuzzi und auch kein Meerblick. Einen Kinderspielplatz habe ich auch nicht gesehen. Aber für uns war es perfekt.

Houseboat in a serene location with beautiful views
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay on Houseboat Wild Rose. The view from the houseboat was just stunning with the mountains, the lake, the water lillies and the myriad birds circling the sky and on the lake. Because it is located further away from the hubbub of the lake, it was serene and soothing. We loved the peace and quiet of the lake, broken only by bird calls and the croaking of the frogs. Breakfast is simple and tasty - eggs and delicious Kashmiri bread. We had dinners on the boat and the food was fresh and tasty. On our last evening, we requested Wazwan dishes which were arranged for us. The rooms are adequate and what you would expect in a houseboat. It was cosy and we enjoyed sleeping with the windows open. We loved relaxing on the deck with our books and coffee and noon chai ( delicious!).
Amir who served us was attentive and prompt with everything we requested. Faizan was courteous and prompt with bookings, queries and suggestions. Both of them along with the cook who made our meals, the shikara boatman, and the owner Ibrahim ensured we had a pleasant stay. Kashmir is a beautiful place with beautiful people. We loved our first trip to the state and we hope to visit again. Highly recommend this place!

Cons:

Some minor suggestions - to have washable covers for the deck furniture and cushions. They do look worn out so having removable, washable covers will keep it looking clean and tidy. The commode could be cleaned better. The wifi is patchy and power outages are frequent (at least during our stay) so come prepared for this and you will not be able to use appliances like a hair dryer. But these are minor things which did not detract from the overall lovely experience we had here.
