“A Home Away From Home - Exceptional Hospitality At Houseboat Wild Rose”
+Staying at Houseboat Wild Rose was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Kashmir. ❤️ From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed and comfortable that it truly felt like a home away from home. The warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality made my experience extra special. A special mention to Faizan, who is honestly such an incredible person. He is kind-hearted, thoughtful, and always willing to go the extra mile to help his guests. He helped me with travel plans, suggested beautiful places to explore, and made sure I could experience the real beauty of Kashmir, including its breathtaking mountains and trekking trails. What I appreciated most was how genuinely he cared about making my stay enjoyable. His hospitality never felt forced; it came naturally, and that makes a huge difference when you’re travelling somewhere new. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful views of Dal Lake, and the feeling of being treated like family made this stay unforgettable. Sometimes, it’s not just the places you visit but the people you meet who make a journey truly special. Faizan and the team at Wild Rose made my Kashmir experience beautiful in ways I will always remember. I would wholehea

+I travelled solo to Kashmir and had an incredible experience at Houseboat Wild Rose. Faizan is such a kind, genuine, and helpful person. He helped me plan my entire 15-day trip, gave me great recommendations, and made sure everything went smoothly. I also went on a day trek, which was one of the highlights of my journey. As a solo female traveler, I really appreciated his kindness, support, and hospitality. He made me feel comfortable and welcome throughout my stay and was always ready to help whenever I needed anything. I’m truly grateful to Faizan for making my Kashmir trip so memorable. I would highly recommend Houseboat Wild Rose to anyone visiting Kashmir, especially solo travelers! ❤️

“wonderful stay”
+had a wonderful stay at Houseboat Wild Rose in Kashmir. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the homemade food was delicious. Faizan and his family were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. They made me feel like part of their family rather than just a guest. What made my experience even more special was that they organised a 3-day trek for me in the Himalayas. Everything was arranged so well, and it gave me the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Kashmir in a truly unforgettable way. As a traveller, I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout my stay. The beautiful views of Dal Lake and the surrounding mountains made it even more special. I highly recommend Houseboat Wild Rose to anyone visiting Kashmir. If you are looking for genuine Kashmiri hospitality and memorable experiences, this is the perfect place to stay!

“I was able to escape the heat and humidity of New Delhi by flying north to Kashmir and then back to Delhi to leave India”
+It’s a very peaceful and comfortable place to unwind. Of course, it was also a very unique experience for me to live on a houseboat for five days.

+I had a wonderful stay at Houseboat Wild Rose. Although I stayed for only one night, I truly wished I could have stayed longer. The hospitality was excellent, the room was clean and comfortable, and the mountain views were absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Faizan and Ibrahim were fantastic hosts,very welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout my stay. Everything was great from start to finish, and I would definitely love to come back next year and stay longer. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic stay in Kashmir!

+There are lotus around the hotel area and the scenic mountains in the background. The hotel offered welcome tea and snacks on arrival. The owner guys are helpful. They even arranged us to exchange money at hotel by connecting their peers. Please be aware that it needs to take the boat/ shikhara from habour to the hotel and it takes 20mins to and from. The habour was said to be closed at 8 pm. You have to hire the boat everytime when you commute and hotel guys were happy to arrange it for you.
−Every single night we could not sleep due to unbeatable mosquitos even though we made sure we didnt open any doors or windows. So bring mosquito cream or nets.

+I had a brilliant stay at Wild Rose, all of the team there (Amir, Ibrahim and Faizen) looked after me so well and made a big effort to make sure I had a great time. They organised day trips for me, made delicious homemade food and coordinated all of the transport to/from the airport. It's a beautifully serene setting with stunning views of the sunsets and the mountains - I would love to come back.
