Mixed experience from Mountview Villa. We stayed during 7th to 9th April 2021. Property is beautiful. 2 family rooms are royal. Breakfast place in garden very well maintained. There are 2 regular rooms. 1 gives Dal-lake view but the other is very tiny. Property is ~750 MTR away from Dal-lake. 500 MTR of that is very steep walk and demand fitness. Service is good & staffs are friendly. But on 7th April night there were powercut. Central inverter stopped working midnight. There were no emergency light in room. None came to give candle or torch. We had to spent almost the whole night in pitch dark using phone light. Door locks need immediate repair. At first floor family room the door somehow got jammed & didn't open from inside. Phone in the room wasn't working. We had to call the owner on her mobile to send staffs to rescue us. Next day they put a latch bolt on the door so that we don't have to use the defective lock.

One of the worst experience in my life. I stayed with family@ 5500/night but owner Yasmin is a cheater who didn't provide a good room. Food was not up to the mark. They didn't maintain hygiene there. So please avoid this place , Owner Yasmin is a cheater.

Beautiful homestay in Nishat, a quiet and posh locality of Srinagar with Zabarwan mountain range at the back and the Dal lake a few minutes away in the front. Even one of the rooms in this homestay is a lake view room. Being a homestay each room is different from the other, please do not expect standardisation of hotel rooms here. Family rooms are specially good, spacious, adorned with traditional Kashmiri furniture and upholstry. The house has a beautiful garden that displays a personal touch . It is a really enjoyable experience to have the sumptuous breakfast there. The staff is polite and helpful all the time. Over and above it is under the supervision of able management of Yasmin Ali. Stayed there twice , in July 2019 and April 2021. Excellent stay.

As a frequent traveller we always prefer homestays rather than hotels. Hence I added Mount view to my itinerary while planning for a short trip to Srinagar mainly to witness the Tulip festival in April 22. It's truly a home away from home . The location , service and specially the beautifully maintained garden and comfortable rooms made our trip memorable . Yasmin the hostess personally takes care of every thing and she is also a wonderful guide and will help you to explore the valley within your timeframe. We will again go back to Mount view to explore the autumn colors of the valley .

It’s an wesome place .Yasmin,Thank you so much for your hospitality and the lovely house that we stayed in .The coziness and the warmth that your place provided aftr a long day of travel was definitely jannat for us .the house is so aesthetically decorated,It made us all feel the essence of a Kashmiri wooden house . I must say we couldn’t get enough of ur sweet home and Kashmir😬your place would also b a must visit to anyone who visits Srinagar 😜 Special mention to the garden .So what if we missed the 110 varieties of flowers growing in Gulmarg this season,we definitely got to c more than 110 in ur garden😍

If you are looking for a peaceful stay with views on either side then Mountview Villa is the place. Flanked by mighty snow clad mountains on the east and serene Dal Lake on the west this homestay is home away from home. The owner Ms. Yasmin and the staff are truly helpful and will ensure that you have a great time with your family.

Beautiful Experience . An excellent hostess , well maintained property , cosy bedrooms and a fabulous garden . We had a wonderful time and a big thanks to Yasmin and team for being so supportive with all our requests.

Before I review this stellar property, I would like to share a back story. I was looking at a homestay for workation along with my mother in Srinagar for 3 weeks. While searching for a property, my friend recommended Mountview Villa in Nishat, Srinagar. I spoke to Ms. Yasmin Ali, the owner of the property, and told her I am traveling from Mumbai for 3 weeks. She was so sweet and welcoming over the call that I instantly decided to stay here without a doubt. On arrival, Ms. Yasmin welcomed us over just like family! She is cooperative and very prompt to address all requests. She will go out of the way to ensure a comfortable stay for her guests and take care of them. Sheshad, their house staff was so helpful and hospitable to us. We felt like home in a new state. In terms of hospitality, comfort, food, décor, amenities and aesthetics, this property is just perfect. The villa also has a kitchen dedicated to guests. During my stay, I dished up some quick meals at times and Sheshad was happy to get us vegetables from the nearby market. The villa is so aesthetically designed capturing old-time charm wrapped in tapestry of time. The centerpieces, vases, flowers, lamps, and furniture welcome you to a world of art! One can see the effort and time spent to create such a beautiful, and homely space. Grab a cup of coffee, a book and immerse yourself in the peace and tranquility of this villa! The living room has comfortable sofa sets, a dining table, a workstation, and magnificent floral décor. Every element of décor seeks inspiration from the culture and personifies the rich heritage of the state. It is truly lavish! Special mention to the lush-green garden of Mountview Villa. It is so splendid and full of blooming flowers. It has different varieties of flowers growing in pretty planters. It is well maintained, clean, and aligned. The space is big and has a comfortable seating arrangement wherein one can conveniently take work calls, read a book, workout, and relish food. Ms. Yasmin was very kind to us and gave us a room on the first floor since my mother was not comfortable climbing the higher floors. The room was tastefully designed with a study table, bar unit, cozy bed, embroidered curtains, and comfortable sofa. It had all amenities such as a television, tea kettle, heater, mineral water, and other essentials. It was very clean, organized and the house staff ensured it is well maintained. The food is freshly prepared and hence it is recommended to order an hour prior. Sheshad is an amazing cook and is of great help. He will welcome all requests with a smile and serve hot and delectable food with lots of love. He was a constant support to us. The overall stay was remarkable and comfortable for three weeks, thanks to the hospitality of Mountview Villa. I would surely recommend staying here if considering a home away from home!
