Houseboat Jigar Palace

Pros : clean and pretty rooms, good hospitality, hot water in bathroom and hand wash area is available in the morning. Cons: the houseboat is bit far from ghat, and little isolated from other house boats, we were initially nervous, but the stay was comfortable. Wi-fi is available, but internet wasn’t working, so better keep your data packs intact. The rooms are pretty warm, heaters can be provided at extra cost, which will keep you warmer, but the staff doesn’t turn it on over night, so choose accordingly (although they turned it again in morning for sometime again when requested)

Houseboat is well maintained, they even provided complimentary heating. Our host was very kind and co-operative. However there’s nothing much to do here. We reqched but early around 2 or 3 pm and got bored. Food is below average considering the charges they take. Also the lake newrby is not clean and doesn’t even feel like a lake. Overall average experience.

Houseboat is away from main hustle of Dal Lake which is very good in terms if you are staying for a relaxing holiday. Staff is very good, well maintained rooms. Food was great too. One can enjoy great sunset sipping tea in the open deck area.

It was a pleasant stay. Staff (Bashir Bhai Jaan and his helper chotu) is good and helpful. This house boat is located at the back of the Dal Lake but you will not miss the view because the boat himself has a his beauty.

New houseboat, washrooms were clean, right in the middle of dal lake, view was awesome. Only drawback was that dinner was not included in our package and they charged 700 per head for buffet with very limited choice.

Awesome place to spend quality time away from busy side of dal lake. Home cooked food with all amenities.

It was an amazing experience overall. Beautiful stay mind blowing rooms and good food what more do you need !overall excellent

The palce was nice and surrounded by Lotus garden. next to it are the snow mountains 😍. though it is a long shikara ride to the boat but totally worth it.

Location: very far - good n bad in a way. Structure- good. Room is good but ceiling needs to be addressed. External dining hall is below average. Surrounding is good. Good peaceful stay.

All staff of house boat are very well behaved specially basir bhai who provide all help which we have required and make our stay perfect thanks basir bhai

Saban is perfect serving food and veer y good treet wit her. But houseboat is very deep place such a scary place
