    Worst experience ever. We had our first day stay at the houseboat and we booked Aziz because of the pictures shown on the internet. But reaching there we realised it’s all fake. They said Aziz group has 20 houseboats under it yet they offered us the worst houseboat. No toiletries no good food no staff or service. The service guy asked a cigarette from me and I gave it to him. He started smoking inside the houseboat only w no respect or privacy. Free breakfast was included in our package but what all they offered for breakfast was burnt toast and tea. Trust me spending even a night at this place was a nightmare for me and my family. Would never recommend anyone to book AZIZ group of houseboats.

    Pros: It's a Houseboat with atleast one decent quality house boat (the left most one when you face it). Service was alright. Helpful people. Cons: Poor quality rooms - dirty linens, dirty stinky towels, damp floor, stinky bathrooms and worst part is the water was sooooooo dirty, we didn't even dare brush our teeth with it. We were curious if they were pumping Dal Lake water Overall, find some other habitable Houseboat

    The House boat is very shabby. The lighting is dim. What I really liked about the houseboat is the hospitality of the staff and that is what stands out. The caretaker was especially nice and booked us shikaras even at 12 midnight as we got late in the city. The houseboat can be a little well maintained and the lighting should be upgraded. This will surely help

    There is no service and boat is pathetic. This house boat is in very bad condition which may lead to mishappening one day. Location: It is located in red corner and you will have no view from here

    The entire experience was fantastic, beautiful houseboat with all amenities, The boat takes through the entire lake for almost 2 hour cruise journey. The meal they provided was very nice. Hoping to visit again very soon.

    Room wasn’t clean. Pillows and bedsheets were dirty and were smelling. Washroom was okay. Food is awful. However, all houseboat experience is nearly more or less the same. I would suggest you to have Shikara ride, but skip the houseboat.

    Houseboat is decent. They charge Rs 700 extra for the heater. Which runs for 3 hours in evening and 2 hours in morning. Additionally they provide hot water bag which is sufficient. Only accept cash, food is below average. Staff is supportive and responsive.

    I had visited houseboat on 29th May,2022.I had very bad experience with caretaker of Aziz Palace Group of Houseboat.He was parenting us for everything how to eat, how to sleep, how to bath etc.This is worst hospitality I have experienced ever. Though I had very great experience in other hotels in Kashmir.

    Location of the houseboat is a red flag, its located somewhere in the corner where there's no view and water is dirty. Considering house boats are old and made of wood, rooms were okayish. bed and floor were making noise when stepped on which is, again understandable. Electricity issues most of the time which led to no hot water.

    Stay was not good. the washrooms were not clean and inspite of the fact that they had the bukhara for heating purpose they were not using that to heat the boat. The food was ok. the rooms are less lighted and you dont get a good feeling staying in the boat. the staff on duty was good though and tried to help as much as he could and the 2 star i have given is for him but we were not satisfied at all and would not recommend it for stay to anyone.

    It's a non maintained houseboat. When u hop in feom the shikara u find nails which may even hurt u. Not painted like other houseboats. Old worn out dirty n even torn bedsheets and blankets. This houseboat needs heavy renovation. The glasses were not cleaned I checked atleast 3 glasses but they were dirty finally I decided to wipe with tissue and use. The water was not hot enough for the dinner. Cutlery and crockery needs proper cleaning. Though it's a heritage we do not expect such mess. It should be well maintained. I hv seen other house boats there which are well maintained. This is owner call. Staff can't do anything in this. Staff helped us in everything. I didn't click pictures inside.

    Overall had an wonderful experience on this houseboat. I loved the hospitality and gestures. Only drawback for me was, at the time of my checkout I had some concern but I was not co-operated, tried calling th customer care number but there was no response. Just need to work on customer feedback area, overall I loved it

  • 4/5 Amol P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great interiors. Carpets, rooms really gives feeling of palace. Service was very nice. Wooden furniture is beautiful. Breakfast, dinner arrengements nicely done. Food was tasty. No air conditioning but they provided heater (LPG based). Heater started 2 hrs in evening and 1 hr in the morning. Few drawbacks: frequent power failures (had backup power for bulbs), tap water was smelly and contained dirt. Though there was Hot water in wash basin and bathtub didnt use it because of poor water quality. Overall despite of these issues it was very Nice, unique and memorable experience.

    The travel to your houseboat is by a shikara The rooms are well sanitized , service is good In winters heating system is present in the room 3 hour slots in the morning and evening and is complimentary Breakfast and dinner was as a buffet and was decent Vendors are allowed to come sell to you so one must be careful about this

  • 1/5 Meenakshi G. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 8 reviews New
    This is my personal review First of all rooms are quite small. Not well maintained only one bulb is there that too keeps fluctuating. Second there is no fixed electricity particularly on this boat. Third is that you don't even get a heater. You only get that for 3hrs that too with electricity There is no electricity almost all the time Forth Geyser doesn't work and you don't get hot water Fifth the customer service. At every question their staff lie. Whether it's about heater working or giving mineral water(they gave normal water saying it's mineral water) Sixth in morning there is no water. Like it's all frozen. So you don't have water for essential purposes. You've to pay 200rs just to get a bucket of water

    Worst experience I had. rooms were very old, they don’t provide minimum toiletries and Trust me they rob you. I asked for a cab in the morning and Showkat the person Incharge asked for 2000. Actually 1000 was the fare and 1000 was his commission. After paying the commission also I had to beg him in the morning to drop me early. Airport was 15mts away. Try a better houseboat than Aziz.

  • 1/5 Ankit G. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 5 reviews New
    Very bad experience, we are here for 1 night in January month. Rooms are just like match box. We are 2 adult and 1 kid and bed are too small that we cant sleep whole night due to space issue. Rooms are so small that extra bedding options are also not available. They provide heater only on particular slot i.e. 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM in evening and 7AM to 9:30 AM in morning. Whole night we are freezing as there is no heater facility available. Food are also on average side.

  • 1/5 Atanu N. 1 year ago on Google
    There is no option to give -ve, hence 1 star. These houseboats requires major revamp, looks very old. From the time I stepped in, everything feels wet and dirty. Tiny cold room where bedsheets, blankets all feels cold, wet, used and dirty. Bathroom was horrible, half of the bathtub was occupied with something broken. Towels that were given feels not only dirty, they were way beyond end of their life. Food was average and the hot drinking water served during dinner/ breakfast was yellowish in colour!! Every houseboat stuff will look for tips from you.

  • 1/5 brundavan 1. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst experience I had in my whole trip. When I am from South India, I expect heaters in my room(boat house). Staff argued with me and they charged 2800(4 rooms) for heaters. I didn't like tha food as well.

  • 5/5 Joy A. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a nice stay in the month of December 22. Well maintained, nice arrangement of buffet dinner and breakfast at adjacent boat. Thanks for timely arranging Bukhari for night and morning. Enjoyed my family stay there.

  • 3/5 Vijay S. 1 year ago on Google
    Houseboat is clean and basic. Expect no luxury. Food is bad and breakfast is worst. staff is not courteous. Its will be chilling cold in winter. Heating timing is from 6 PM to 9:30 PM and 7 AM to 8:30 AM. Although they provide hot water bottle which will keep you warm throughout the night. Not a peasant stay and I feel it will be same with any budget houseboat. if you are looking for luxury stay you can avoid all houseboat. I feel craze for stay in houseboat should stops now. Simply not worth it. If you have kids with you than strict no.

    Room and beds very dirty ,They ask you to remove your shoes outside but do not provide slippers,food basic,toilets very small ,only plus point is hot water, and very polite staff,but overall houseboat experience overrated by all.

  • 4/5 Gautam P. 1 year ago on Google
    The houseboats are wonderfully carved and beautiful. But the bedrooms get a bit stuffy, as they are closed all the time. In summer, they should open the windows a bit.

    Aziz Palace is the epitome of luxury on water. The interiors are elegantly designed, and the houseboats are equipped with all the modern comforts. A perfect blend of tradition and modernity."
