It was wonderful stay midst the dal lake.

Good service & clean rooms

Rated 5.0 by Tania Lamba . Family Traveller . Jun 13, 2016

It was a pleasant experience with clean rooms and affectionate houseboat staff. It was beautiful houseboat with nice wood work. The Shikara ride was the best part of our stay. Food inside the hotel was very costly as compared to food that we got just outside the Lake. Loved the ambience on the boat it felt like second home.

Nice location with good service

Rated 5.0 by Gliny S . Family Traveller . Jun 05, 2016

Good value for money at the location. Good service and clean surrounding. Safeena group is putting good effort to keep the lake green. Shikara services to and fro is good and the ride is worth the money paid for.

Best hotel and must stay in this hotel. Awesome experience and food is also good with awesome front lake view. All members of houseboat are so familiar. Worth the money. I spend 4 nights in this hotel. As a alone girl I spend four days in this hotel but it was totally safe.

My first ever stay in House Boat as well as in kashmir and I cannot ask anything better than this. The food was excellent. We were only 3 people but he had made full dinner. We were only family in the house boat and we got the excellent service. Also they provide us one hour free shikara ride and any no. Of time come and fro. Shikara service. Thanks a lot.

Good hotel

Rated 4.0 by Harish Ramachandra . Oct 08, 2018

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days we were 7 people and we got a complete house boat and was very neatly maintained and couple friendly too. Staff and manager were very supportive and arranged all our questions and arranged travel for sonmarg gulmarg and pehalgam also. Few things as we observed that we did not like. There is no menu card in the hotel and they do provide breakfast and dinner, but when asked for a price they say please feel like your home and we will provide in last. We opted for breakfast and dinner on the first day and after asking a lot many times for the rates we came to know that for a 2 bread piece and a bread omlet with one cup of tea they charge 150 per person which did not fill our stomach also. For dinner we had order 25 chapathi, 1 chicken curry and 1 mutton curry only for limited food for 7 people and they charged 300 per person that comes to 2100 in total. House boat food is costlier than mogal darbar famous restaurent food. please make a menu and ask before you order. For the next few days we had our food outside only. Overall Hotel is great we suggest safina group to have menu card with rates for food.
Hotel was maintained well and staff were very supportive.

Good Stay

Rated 4.0 by Tanjot Singh . Aug 24, 2018

The view from the boat is good and one think which I dislike is that the fans of the rooms are too slow.

Tasty food & prompt service

Rated 4.0 by Seema Rajput . Group Traveller . May 28, 2017

The location is at ghat no 9 just below the holy shankaracharya temple on the Boulevard road. They come to pick you up before your arrival in the shikara and it I said just a ride of 5 mins. The rooms are OK, neat and clean but take the rooms at the front and not the back ones. They are a bit claustrophobic. Buffet dinner - Food is tasty but with Limited spread. Should have 1 or 2 more items, specially there was no non veg. Service was prompt. I rate 4 / 5.

A nice experiences

Rated 4.0 by Devarajan Meyana . Couple Traveller . Jun 27, 2016

I stayed a night in Safina Houseboat with family. It was really a nice experience and very good service. I think I can recommend this to any one who like a budget houseboat with very good service. Very economical and location is a bit away from main road which is very nice.

Nice stay

Rated 4.0 by Kirpal . Family Traveller . Jun 04, 2016

Service is nice specially thanks Mr Asif for good service. We are suggesting all the tourist to visit once to Kashmir. Safina group of house boat, nice accommodation, triple and double deluxe also big dinning hall for group kitchen. We visited with family again, once again thanks to Mr Asif.

Hotel position is good but water is bad and one staff is bad.

Rated 3.0 by Danish Ansari . Family Traveller . Nov 01, 2022

Water of bathroom for bath is black and dirty. And one staff who is incharge for cooking is very bad. His behaviour is very bad and at the time of leaving he is asking for tips every time. We are not happy for them at all. But the owner and other staff is good

Nothing

Rated 3.0 by Arun Sabharwal . Couple Traveller . Aug 22, 2017

Experience was not good as we thought, it's OK staying in houseboat, I will suggest anyone for better houseboats with main road location. Has limited staff and less interested in customer, rooms are not matching their price, owner has little bit extra attitude. Overall it's OK stay

Good stay

Rated 3.0 by Prabhjot Singh . Family Traveller . Jul 14, 2016

I booked hotel Safina, but we have been provided room at hotel Sea Palace. Although it was good, but most of the time no attendant was there. Ceiling fan not connected to invertor. Good point they provided shikara to and from hotel to ghat(road) also for our dinner at restaurant free of cost.

Average houseboat & costly food

Rated 3.0 by Dr Sita Ram . Family Traveller . Jun 28, 2016

Room and bathroom should be more changes required, hot water facility, food is costly, reforms needed. Overall, nobody wants to stay 2nd time on boat, if want to attract tourists than it should be Eco friendly.

Very Cold and unenthusiastic response

Rated 3.0 by Vikas . Group Traveller . May 30, 2016

Though we use to checkin in late night shikara was available. Ameneties were good, but the response of the manager and houseboat owner was **** cold. The tea and milk facility were also not up to the mark. Overall The package was a deal full of conditions

Not Bad

Rated 3.0 by MrPawadi Samsan . Family Traveller . May 25, 2016

It was a good experience of staying in this hotel. Room was average good, resonable price, enjoyed Shikara ride in a small boat as a complimentary. Food was good but charges were high. House boat owner was so good, we called him Chacha, very loving but all staff's were greedy of tips then service.
