Houseboat New Golden Flower

It was really a nightmare staying there.bed spreads were not changed,dirty beds without proper cushioning and bed was old and tattered. No water in washrooms and frequent powercuts..food was below average and were served only poha with watery tea for breakfast and didn't have second serving.If we wish to experience modest living without food , water , powersupply and entertainment, we can opt this '3 star hotel'

The stay was good even more than we expected. We had a mindset about houseboats earlier because of all social media platforms. We didn't choose the houseboat earlier but when we entered into this houseboat everything got changed. From providing facilities more than we imagined. Food was good, it was feeling like a homely cooked feeling. This houseboat has an excellent view. Staff was very nice to us and very supportive. Now whenever we will visit Kashmir , we would ofcourse choose this houseboat only. The best stay we had in Kashmir so far❤️

I took cab service from them. It was wonderful experience. Mujtaba is really wonderful guy, he guided us throughout our tour & was ready to offer help whenever necessary. I am very sure to recommend them to make your Kashmir tour more enjoyable & beautiful.

Best location services was excellent care taker baseer jee was nice person and owner Yakub jee is excellent person care for services etc ….Best house boat in nigeen lake…4 night journey was excellent….Different type feeling peace peace ….Excellent place for traveller

We visited Kashmir for the very first time and stayed at The New Golden Flower Houseboat throughout our stay in Srinagar. Our entire trip was planned by the very co-operative and humble owner of the houseboat Mr. Yaqoob. Highly recommend to others.

strongly advise staying away from this place, as it appears to be a tourist scam with fabricated reviews. Before making a reservation, keep in mind that the houseboat is located on Nagin Lake, despite sometimes being falsely advertised as being on the quieter side of Dal Lake. In reality, it is far from Dal Lake and doesn't come close to matching its beauty. Furthermore, the houseboat was touted as an old and iconic one, but it turned out to be quite ordinary with basic interiors and minimal amenities. The pricing, in the name of legacy, is exorbitant for what it offers. There was no heating or cooling equipment, and a persistent foul smell lingered due to plumbing issues. Upon arrival, we were left unattended because the staff had supposedly gone to a wedding. One family walked out due to these issues within an hour. To add to the disappointment, the ***ager, Fayaz, continuously brought shikara hawkers into our room, invading our privacy. He also kept pushing us to book a shikara ride despite us refusing multiple times. Moreover, since there was no food available or facilities to cook, we had to return to the city to get our meals. Strangely, when we checked out, Fayaz charged us 500 rupees for a 2-minute shikara ride we had to take to fetch food, and he ganged up on us. Please keep this in mind while booking since as a tourist you will need to go sightseeing, and every crossing will be charged. Normally, houseboats on Dal lake have their own shikaras for free movement of visitors. When we contacted the owners to complain, they initially empathized and promised a refund but then didnt pick up our followup calls. This place is highly commercialized, with tourists being their last priority. Please be cautious of such unethical practices. If you are considering this houseboat, I suggest you to book the houseboat in person (there is very less rush here, so you will get a space everytime and you can negotiate terms better) keeping all these factors in mind, instead of paying upfrontonline and being at their mercy.

One of the best Experience to travel in Kashmir was the stay in House boat, People here were so welcoming and served us great food and amazing hospitality , I definitely recommend this to everyone. Kindly Explore to the best of your availability

If you like to have a silent and peaceful scenery outside your houseboat instead of having rush and clusters of houseboat , opt for new golden flower houseboat in nageen lake instead of shiny houseboats of dal. You'll find it so calm that you don't want to go inside until late night. A very good experience for me. Totally safe and hygienic houseboat. Food was great. Worth 6/5 stars.

The hotal service is very good. I come again because this hotal service and house keeping mr ishfaq khan Mr.isfaq payer mr jangir mr imaytaz this hotal food is very best and people is very very good. Mr baila
