    One of the worst experience we had on this boat.. The guy there snatched my friend's phone and gave 5 star review to himself. Worst hospitality, the guys there are very rude. Our luggage was in sun for 5 hours. Can't trust them. It' smells Its very suffocating. There are cockroaches in washroom. Think 10 times before going

    The room was good .. however the heating could have been better.. felt too cold at night.. staying at any houseboat during winter may be a challenge.. value for money may be matter of debate here, however, people stay at houseboat for a different experience and for that one night can be spent at houseboat.. the attendants at the Young Bombay houseboat were helpful.. Shikara is the only option to travel to the houseboat from the land.. hence, getting a shikara after evening is a challenge.. so you will be stuck at houseboat with nothing much to do, just sit back and relax...

    Not a great place as the name premium suggests. It is said they have room heaters but of no use they don't work as the temperature is really low during winter. But the good part. The central waiting hall had heat chamber but a conventional one which was really good. They promote a lot of local crafts and sales of the products. Food is ok but not great.

    I am from Maldives. Wonderful stay in Houseboat. Wonderful rooms and best food I have had from whole Kashmir. Arranged my whole trip to Kashmir. Smooth and very comfortable arrangements been made. Loved the professionalism and friendliness of the staffs. Enjoyed the whole trip. Felt like this is my second home... Will be back again for sure.

    I’ve stayed with Young Bombay on multiple occasions since 2018. Every time my stay has been pleasant and each time I’m told that winters are mesmerising in Kashmir. I’m taking Umer bhai’s offer on that and going to stay against from 30th Dec to 2nd January to spend my New Year’s @YoungBombay. Looking forward to a great stay once again :)

    Its a horrible experience ..recently we had spent 1day in this houseboat..dinner was so bad quality and over charged that i never recommend this houseboat to anyone. There is no electric kettle in the room.Even the bathroom's condition was not good and the gyser was not working properly. They are only chance of exploit guests by over charge evrything like they forcefully book us a shikara for 1hour and charge for 2000 Rs by doing scam..never go to this place guys.

    Young Bombay heritage in Dal lake is very good in terms of room quality ambience and cleanliness and most importantly the cordial behaviors of the staff. Over all it was a great experience. Umar the person in attendance of thr guests needs special mention for his very decent and helpful attitude and he made the experience even better.

    Rooms are worth but you'll get bored soon and this one had issues with power supply so the heater was not working. In the cold in december we had a bad experience staying for a night here. Food is average. I'd say spend like 6 hours of the day to hang out on the boat and go back to boulevard road for night stay at a good hotel

    It was very bad experience in house boat we all were very excited but was disappointed as there is lot of electricity issue so heaters don't work properly . Not worth as per the price. Warm water is also not available properly . totally different from the pictures shown in the Booking, renovation work is going on still they are taking customers not even informed about the work going on while booking . would suggest not to waste money on house boat

    Initially I was apprehensive of staying in a houseboat however my experience in Young Mumbai was amazing. Our executive room was beautifully furnished. Service was very good. I would like to specially mention Umar, who was very cordial and attended to all our needs. Will definitely visit again.

    Really enjoyed the stay. Services were utterly amazing. Food was very tasty, staff was very cooperative. Rooms are spacious and fully composed of Kashmiri culture. Mr Bilaal Ahmed tried his best to serve us in every possible way.

    Wonderful experience with this beautiful houseboat. The customer service is beyond expectations. The weather was hot but they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. There are lots of vendors that come to this place and the owner helps negotiate a good deal for us

    The stay is good . The food is cooked by owners wife and is delicious. The only problem we faced was there were lot of mosquitoes 🦟 It ruined our sleep also there was some party on the houseboat in front of us and they played music till 3 am in the morning . But again this part was not the owners fault. Booking under name : Anit Singh. Thanks to check . We stayed there on 31st August 2022. If it is not yours let me know will remove. Thanks !

    I stayed there on 12-13 March, it was a good stay. Staff provided good hospitality and location of house boat was perfect. There is still a improvement can be done for food, it is ok but it could be better. Other then this everything was good.

    We were a Group of Nine out off which 8 were Senior citizens and out off 8 one was a retired SBI officer from Goa. We were checked in on 1st November 2022 by a very unreliable Travel Agent from Jaipur, who conducts tour mainly for SBI Staff. We had a Horrifying stay at this Boat House. The Boat House we checked in was" Royal Orchid " and to our Great Surprise and shock all our rooms in the Boat House were with Heaters fixed to live Domestic Gas Cylinders and the rooms were smelling of Gas. I have traveled all over the World and almost every part of India but never saw such Room Heaters. It was absolutely not save to stay. We immediately asked the Management to remove the Heaters as well as the Domestic Gas Clyinders from the rooms, which they did and to add salt to the wound they provided us, with Hot water Bags to keep ourselves warm. What a pathetic situation!!!! The Dinner and Breakfast served by the Young Bombay Boat House was absolutely horrible so much so that three members of this Group were omitting and had loose motion at the Airport on our way Back. We were lucky that our most unreliable Travel Agent booked only one night and the last night in Srinagar in the Horror Boat House. I have lived videos to prove myself. I strongly caution all the SBI Staff and others not to check in into this Boat House. Instead of having a "Happy Holiday it was a Horror Holiday ". So beware if such Boat House in Srinagar.

    Staff need to be more helpful. Food variety is not there. Location could have been better but still great. Otherwise, rooms are great, one of the best in dal lake, clean and spacious. Overall good houseboat for new experience. Stayed with my family including kids.

    This houseboat in Dal lake is very amazing. Very clean, vibrant rooms. Food feels home cooked.. You want to keep eating!! Great host.. They say 'this is your home' and they mean it to the fullest. Now I have a second home that too in Srinagar Dal lake!!

    Our stay here was truly an amazing experience! Every aspect exceeded our expectations – from the impeccable care provided by Bilal to the delightful food. The positive vibes permeated the atmosphere, making it a memorable stay.

  • 1/5 Amol P. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    We booked a house boat from my holiday tours and have 3 rooms for 3 couples. But the uploaded pictures and the actual house boat have completely changed. There is all the renovation work going on, so why did you give bookings to customers. No TV, no proper heating. Also electricity problem every 2 hours. It is not up to a 4 star property. It has 1 star property.Too much expensive and Totally waste of money.
