Had an amazing stay at Movie Land Houseboat, Kashmir. The hosts were incredibly caring and welcoming
Pros:

Breakfast was just awesome .. I will miss the noon chai everyday now which is prepared by Javeed bhai and irfaan … love you guys … keep up the good work and wonderful hosting ❤️❤️

Cons:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

There was honestly nothing I didn’t like about this place—I absolutely loved everything! From the beautiful houseboat and its peaceful vibes to the warmth and hospitality of the entire family, every moment felt special.

A special thanks to Tafeem, the little star, and to Javeed Bhai and Irfaan for making our stay so memorable. Their kindness, care, and genuine hospitality were truly incredible and made us feel like part of the family.

Movie Land Houseboat will always hold a special place in my heart. The memories I made here are unforgettable, and I’m already looking forward to meeting everyone again very soon. Whenever I visit Kashmir in the future, this will definitely be the place I come back to.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic, comfortable, and heartwarming experience in Kashmir. ❤️

Perfect houseboat with nice view
Pros:

My boyfriend and I stayed 4 nights and we loved our stay. What we prefered was Javeed and his family, their kindness and hospitality. Javeed and his brother helped my boyfriend to organise a memorable birthday for me and I'm very grateful for that. They also helped us to get a motorbike, negotiate the price and get us somd sim cards.

We loved the breakfast and dinner at the homestay. The bedroom itself is very nice with view on the lotus flowers, the beds are really comfortable (I was craving such a good comfy bed after all the very hard beds i got in other hotels) and our own private bathroom.

Everything was very clean. The view from the terrace is beautiful and Javeed or Irfan always make themselves available to pick us up with the boat or drop us off. It's only 2 or 3 minutes boat and the location itself is perfect, next to a lot of restaurants.

Immer hilfsbereiter und liebenswerter Host & Familie, absolut friedliche und wunderschöne Lage, sauber und ordentlic
Pros:

Der Host und seine Familie sind sehr sehr hilfsbereit und nehmen alle Gäste liebevoll auf. Egal ob es um Empfehlungen beim Essen, bei Plätzen in der Stadt, Preisen für Andenken oder Aktivitäten auf dem See geht, sie standen mir immer zur Seite. Wer nicht alleine unterwegs sein will, dem/der wird such angeboten, gemeinsam mit dem Auto ein paar Sights in der Altstadt oder am See abzuklappern.
Eine Sprachbarriere über Englisch existiert nicht.
Die Hausboote liegen sehr friedlich auf einer kleinen Insel, es ist aber zu keiner Zeit ein Problem gewesen, das “Festland” zu erreichen, da mich jederzeit jemand von der Familie kurz rüber fahren konnte.
Auf Sauberkeit wird großen Wert gelegt, heißes Wasser gibt es immer, ebenso wie Shampoo, Toilettenpapier oder Mückenschutz.
In Srinagar wird regelmäßig in verschiedenen Sektoren der Strom abgeschaltet, was in dem Fall dann auch das sonst sehr gut funktionierende WLAN betrifft.
Man muss sich auch bewusst sein, dass auf einem Hausboot zu schlafen nicht unbedingt für jeden/e etwas ist, aber es ist auch ein einzigartiges Erlebnis.

Peaceful nature vibe
Pros:

If you are missing peaceful nature and village vibe - this place is for you. Water, boats around, so many singing birds. I chose more simple and smaller room, but there are way more fancy and bigger rooms. And what is most important - hospitality of the family. I was picked up from the airport, I got help with getting another sim card as one prepaid I bought in Delhi, was not working. Irfan took a good care of me, showed me around lots of places in Srinagar. It was a pleasure to communicate with him.

Cons:

Sometimes electricity was disappearing, so internet as well. But it is not owners fault.

Pros:

집주인이 친절합니다 호수위에서 배안에서 자는 낭만이 있습니다 숙소가 섬에있어 외출이 완전 자유롭지는 않지만 원할때 집주인이 배로 육지로 태워다줍니다 그리고 호수뒤로 보이는 히말라야 산맥 2박3일간의 경험은 잊지못할거 같습니다

Không trở lại lần hai.
Pros:

Khung cảnh thoáng, gần bến tàu

Cons:

Điện thường xuyên cúp, nước đêm đầu hết, nhân viên yêu cầu trả thêm tiền thuế trong khi xác nhận của booking.com là giá đã bao gồm tất cả thuế rồi, chủ nhà hơi lười.

離碼頭不遠,出入方便,老闆隨時接送,十分貼心。住宿單人房,房間簡單但整理的很乾淨,晚上很好睡,是個令人可以放鬆的地方。對於客人的訴求,老闆都會在能力範圍內給予意見、協助,真的超級棒的!

Exceptional
Pros:

Naweed is a nice guy we can talk about anything together. The location cannot be more central but quiet at the same time. Chilling on the terrace is the best at night espacially

Superb
Pros:

Our recent stay at this hotel from June 21st to 23rd was truly a wonderful experience, especially as we were traveling with family. The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, providing easy access to local attractions and amenities.

What truly stood out was the impeccable neatness and cleanliness of the entire property.

However, the highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the host, Javeed. He is an incredibly kind and supportive individual.

Perfect stay!
Pros:

Such an amazing time staying here, I ended up upgrading my room to the Deluxe double, which was a gorgeous room, spacious and extremely clean. Javed made me feel super comfortable and often went above and beyond, helping me with any questions or recommendations. I was concerned as a female travelling alone how comfortable I would be, however Javed and his family really took care of me and were so warm and kind! Food was nice, and the view of the lake is wonderful.

Cons:

Nothing
