White House Group of Houseboats

The owner mr. Ibrahim was kind enough to send his personnel mr. Ashraf to ghat no. 12 to pick up us. We checked into our room without any verification and documents. He took the order for 2 home made lunches. Rice was well cooked and soft. Dal and chicken curry were not spicy they were tasty and went well with chapatis and rice. After lunch we watched wimbledon tennis for some time. They served khava. Kashmiri special tea. We went to boulevard road using their small boat. We had our dinner in a hotel outside. Came back and sat in the front, looking at the dal lake with lights. We had a sound sleep. They served us a sumptuous bread toast, omelette with tea. We checked out 9 am. It was a memorable and enjoyable stay. There were no mosquitoes. There was no music and disturbance. There was hot water available 24x7.

Hello Sir/madam The photographs and the name of the property that was shown is White House boats,but the name of the property is The new light house boat and the property is not as per the photographs most terrible is that there is No power electricity . When we object that we have booked White House boat but you are giving new light house boat they said it’s a group of house boats . Another bad part is that they charge for water bottle even though they not provide even a single free drinking water bottel. Next worst thing that the furniture totally broken it hurts us just on the first day first step I got a cut in my leg. As they said only 2 -3 families like four rooms they have, but the common area and area always remains occupied with many people as the nearby house boat people I think many people (families) coming one by one and enjoying dinning area balcony for which we have paid, when I object for this they said it’s like that only. They charge for transfers also like from ghat to that property they charge 100 rupees infact in houseboats transfers are totally free. Sorry but worst experience

1. Nice and clean 2. But no wifi 3. Breakfast was good 4. For transfer they charge 50rs it is not included

we stayed as a couple at Whitehouse houseboat. on our arrival, we were welcomed by Kashmiri kawa. and greeted so well. we liked the hospitality and service of both owner and staff. though we booked a houseboat for 1 day. but we extended for another day as well. as we liked their service and hospitality. the owner and staff are friendly and won't misguide us in term of location wise.this houseboat is located very corner and has 3 side open view of lake.which most of the houseboat in dal lale doesnt provide.and last but most important , food quality, hygiene was maintained.

Had a lovely stay at this beautiful houseboat. The advantage is that its located on the corner side which is unique and gives you a whole view of the dal lake with mountains at the backdrop. Ibrahim bhai and ashraf bhai are very hospitable and gave us a warm welcome and made the stay very comfortable and convenient. He also supported in getting us cabs for pahalgam and hiring local shikara at affordable rates. Its definitely a place worth it and recommended for tourists looking at a comfortable stay, home made food and good view of lake while at a houseboat.
