White House Group Of Houseboats

One of the best place to stay safe for couples and view is very good

The property and location are nice, and one of the rooms we got was also decent. But the biggest issue with this stay was the owner’s behaviour, which felt dishonest, pushy, and very unprofessional throughout our experience. We had booked two rooms for two people, expecting both rooms to be of the same type/category as shown in the listing. But when we reached, one room matched the photos, while the second room was very small and completely different. This immediately felt misleading. Since the bigger room was enough for both of us, we told the owner that we would not use the second room. He said that if he rented it to someone else, he would split the amount 50-50 with us. Later, he gave that room to another couple and told us he rented it for ₹2,000, so he gave us only ₹1,000. But when we checked with the couple, they said they had paid ₹4,000. This was the biggest red flag for us because the 50-50 arrangement was suggested by the owner himself, and even then he did not follow it honestly. During the stay, he also kept pushing us again and again to book trips and transport through him, even after we clearly said no. The prices he quoted were much higher than local options, which made the whole thing feel even more untrustworthy. One incident was especially uncomfortable. The owner entered our room without knocking, ringing the bell, or asking for permission. I was staying with a female companion, so this felt like a serious privacy and safety concern. Breakfast was also very basic and disappointing. And at checkout, he pressured me to write a 5-star Google review in front of him, which felt forced and unfair. Overall, the property may look good and the location may be nice, but the experience was ruined by the owner’s dishonest behaviour, repeated upselling, inflated pricing, privacy concerns, and forced review request. I would not recommend this stay.

Mr Ibrahim was very welcoming during our stay. We had tremendous experience, have the opportunity to experience sehr and iftar in kashmir. Alhamdulillah. You get a wonderful sunrise and sunset view when you stay in this houseboat.

Great experience. Very nice location. You can enjoy all the activities at your door step. Owner took good care of us. Complete family oriented person.

The houseboat is easily accessible from the ghat gate and offers a beautiful, uninterrupted view of Dal Lake. Since it’s located in the middle of the water, it does get quite cold, but the heated AC makes the stay comfortable. The host, Ibrahim, was extremely helpful and assisted us with planning our itinerary, arranging cabs, and taking care of any other requirements.
