Dal lake is romantic and peaceful place. The Staff of Houseboat Swan is the most friendly, informative and helpful, almost all people of Kashmir valley are hospitable... My visit to Kashmir, & specifically to the Swan House Boat is one of my favorite travel experiences............. Swan House boat is visibly well maintained and cleanest one Inside there are all best... More

Good place to stay but not excellent, average food pillow covers were dirty. Sahban the caretaker was good in service but always looking for tips... take care anything you buy or you order through houseboat they have commission fixed and it will indirectly charged to you. If you like to watch TV then there is small old TV in lobby... More

Room and bed (pillow and blanket) very dirty. Kitchen, food, clothing cook unhygienic. The assessment required by the tourism ministry is made and written by the manager of the agency and placed in front of you at the entrance and required to sign up, absurd.

Suffice it to say that Srinagar in January is not necessarily the ideal destination for the season. Kashmir is known for its flowers, and I think it can be experienced in all of its glory in May or June. However, I chose to visit in the dead of winter, and I ended up having a ball! First of all, the... More

If you want to visit Kashmir the Swan Group Houseboat is the number one adress to do this. After arrival in Dehli-Shirinagar it's great to chill for 2 days on the beauthiful houseboats on Lake Dhal and enjoy the incredible atmosphere before you start your trip into the Himalaya. There is great trekking and also flyfishing. Ask for Showkat to... More

very well organised trip through Perfect Holidays, located in Connaught Place, Delhi. We felt very comfortable on the boat and the rooms are nice. Very attentive and friendly service of our guide Shaban. We did a three night trekking with him which was great. The only downside to it was that you get quite hassled by local traders to buy...

Good location in the middle of Dal Lake. The ambeince is average. The service levels at the Houseboats were just ok. But you might let it go as the staff were quite co-operative and food quality was good. A houseboat which value for money. Not very expensive just above one mark with comaprasion to a standard 3 star hotel. Request... More
