    Terrible Stay

    isha m.family with 1 kid

    Only the location of house boat is good otherwise everything stinks as you go inside. Bathroom is terrible, no hot water and smelly water.Bedsheets and blankets smell very bad.Dont think they are washed. Lighting inside is very dim. People are good but the overall room quality is pathetic .

    Good houseboat with limited facilities.

    debasis k.family

    We stayed here for one night. The complimentary port transfer from the Ghat 19A was done as per offer. The room was equipped with a heater. However it stopped working since midnight and we struggled to sleep in low temperatures for the rest of the night. The food they offered for dinner was below par. However, their polite nature had won our hearts.

    If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in srinagar, staying in the houseboat at heevan hotel on dal lake is an absolute must! from the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene beauty of the lake and the charm of the houseboat. The view from the houseboat was nothing short of breathtaking. The staff at heevan hotel were incredibly kind and attentive. They went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. From arranging shikara rides to providing personalized recommendations for local attractions, they were always eager to help with a warm smile. The food was freshly prepared, flavorful the hospitality made dining even more enjoyable. A houseboat stay at heevan hotel on dal lake is an experience you shouldn't miss.

    Mixed experience at heevn houseboat

    karan y.couple

    Staying at heevan houseboat in kashmir was a unique experience with both highs and lows. The houseboat itself is beautiful, with traditional kashmiri craftsmanship and intricate wooden carvings creating a cozy and authentic vibe. The location on the serene lake, surrounded by the stunning himalayas, offered breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was warm and accommodating. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, which was truly appreciated. The shikara ride arranged by the houseboat was a highlight, allowing us to explore the lake and its vibrant floating markets. However, the food was disappointing and did not meet expectations. I would strongly recommend not opting for the in-house meal plan and instead exploring nearby restaurants or cafes for authentic kashmiri flavors. This could significantly enhance the overall experience. Despite the food issue, the charm of staying on a houseboat and the mesmerizing surroundings make it worth considering. With some improvements in the dining experience, this could truly be a standout stay.

    I booked this hotel for my parents as they were visiting srinagar for the very first time. I was little worried booking a hotel in the lake as my friends told me not to book it. But all my worry went away because the hotel was very clean, good looking and aesthetic. Food was very tasty. The owner and the staff were very friendly. So, i will highly recommend the hotel and i will definitely book it for myself when i will visit srinagar. Thank you to the hotel staff for taking a good care of my parents while there stay.

    Poor Stay

    ashar k.loyalty-iconfamily

    Disappointing Stay Due to Poor Amenities and Service We stayed for two nights on a houseboat Unfortunately, the AC stopped working after 2 AM, and there were power cuts that made the fan stop as well. The staff's indifferent attitude made us feel trapped with no alternatives. Overall, the experience was far from relaxing or enjoyable.

    Better location/view

    kashyap k.loyalty-iconcouple

    Location is near ghat 19a, away from the hustle of the dal lake. Ghat 7 to 14 are a bit crowd y and active. Hot water facilities are good. Bathroom was clean and hygienic. Only 1 towel is provided. Request to include 2 towels per room. A better hygiene on the towels to be maintained. Breakfast was ok. Poha, bread butter jam and tea. Did not have dinner at the property so no reviews.
