SOOOOO beautiful we can’t be more grateful to have experienced staying here. Everything was perfect. The home is gorgeous and felt like home. Sitting on the deck and watching the fish and boats go by was really magical. You HAVE to let them cook breakfast for you it was hands down one of the best meals we’ve had. Thank you for everything. 💞

Lisa has been a great host. We got issues with transportation and she gave several options, finally she booked for us a driver ans a van to reach the site. Her Opa was waiting for us and took us with a speedboat all along the lake. She gave us wood to make a bonfire and a barbecue at night. It was my birthday, she payed us a visit and brought to us a cake and fireworks (and we met her dog Happy). She has been very kind and the nicest host we have had.

Aqua Jumbo Houseboat

FrancoisRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The boat was what we had been looking for: a large open living room in the front (not enclosed by windows). The crew was very friendly and could not have been more accommodating and helpful and the food was fantastic and plentiful and varied. We were asked before we set off if we wanted beer and someone set off to get them after we said yes. We stayed two nights, which made for a more relaxed trip - being able to wake up on the boat in the morning and knowing you had a full day ahead of you to just take it easy. The interior of the boat could use some sprucing up. But overall a great stay.

Houseboat with Mountain & Lake View Room#1 NBB

GeetanjaliRating, 5 stars11 months ago

Shabir is a SUPERB host! He was considerate and attentive, ensuring our stay was comfortable., Check-in instructions were detailed and his responses quick. Shabir was respectful of our privacy yet always available when needed. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. The Houseboat itself was pristine and beautifully decorated with local handicrafts. Shabir has done an incredible job preserving its character and authenticity while offering modern conveniences. It has everything you’d need, from comfortable beds, lounging chairs, hot shower/bath, toiletries, utensils & extra blankets. The dining set is a work of art, carved in walnut wood. The views of the mountains, the lake left us in awe, especially at sunrise and sunset. We were surrounded with water lilies. The scenic serenity was perfect. We loved our stay here & recommend it very highly to everyone! Thanks for such a lovely stay Shabir, we look forward to seeing you again.

Panoramic Floating Villa Kanchanaburi

WipaveeRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Beautiful house, clean, very good atmosphere. Perfect for relaxing. Leave yourself in the house. I love that there are 2 large bottles of water with food served at the house. Typical taste. Normal price When it's dark, there are a few bugs. Very little for floating villas. Overall, it's great if you have the chance to go back and stay again.

HouseBoat In Calm Dal Lake Room2(ROOM 1 SEE BELOW)

KrishnenduRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We had a wonderful experience in Kenya houseboat. Nazir sir and his family were the best host possible and Nazir sir helped us to plan our tour properly. Food provided was homely and tasty. This houseboat is peaceful and it is in the quieter part of Dal lake . We would recommend it to anyone.

Arun VattanirappelRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

It was really a pleasant stay at Tariq’s houseboat. The journey to the boat is amazing. I have to say that Tariq was really responsive & was there all the time to make my stay comfortable & at ease. Greatly appreciate that he assisted me to arrange the Shikara ride at a reasonable price, a must try at Dal Lake. I would recommend to go for 2 Hr. Overall a very good refreshing experience & special thanks to endless Kahwa - it truly made my day :)

Angel Backwaters 2 Bedroom -Deluxe Alleppey Round

SalinRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Me, my wife and my friend stayed for a night in a 2 bedroom houseboat and it was amazing. We absolutely fell in love with the place. The food, cooked in the boat itself, was true to the traditional Kerala cuisine and was exquisite. Taste and spice can be edited based on our requirement and they did a great job. Would definitely recommend this.

Paolyn Houseboat was one of the best and most beautiful places I've ever stayed at. We had the best time! Couldn't have asked for more. Definitely a piece of paradise. Getting to meet and interact with the people from the local tribe was very cool. A special shout out to Wilson and Jom. We had 2 boat excursions with them and they were just brilliant and so much fun. Food is great too! Highly recommended

Houseboat in Dal Lake Srinagar

LisaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Adil's houseboat was the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in....it was like a 5* hotel! From the moment I arrived to the time I left, Adil and his father were the perfect hosts, helping with arranging boat trips and ensuring that I paid fair, not overinflated prices. The room was superb, with a comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. In fact the whole place was spotlessly clean. I had dinner the one night and it was delicious, probably the best curry I have had in my 3 weeks in India. I am an Airbnb host myself and it is a travesty that a recent guest left Adil a 3* review. I can assure you that this review says more about the guest than it does about Adils houseboat - it is worthy of 5*'s all the way. If I could give more than 5* I would, it is such a wonderful place. I will never forget sitting on the deck watching life on the lake pass quietly by.

A really cute little spot! The staff was very friendly :) only thing that made it tough is there wasn't many stores in the area and my son is a very picky eater.

Antique Cosy Houseboat @ Aberdeen Fishing Village

GloriaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This is such a special houseboat where i got to see a bit more of Hong Kong, the boat is such a unique place and it's quite special from the typical apartment and houses you see elsewhere! The exterior has a charming old style and it’s so fresh and nice looking on the inside, absolutely lovely. Appliances all look quite new and fresh, we cooked a nice meal for dinner and it felt almost like home.
