  Average Experience

  We called kolugroup house boat around 12.30 PM for checkin . They told me that check in time is 2.00 PM while agoda was showing 12.00 PM timing. We called them again after few minutes and then they agreed for check in . So this was not a good experience. Apart from this ,every thing was good. Breakfast was good, sikara driver was good and really helpful.

  Great houseboat experience

  Our stay at the Kolu houseboat was exceptional. Hilal was an amazing host and all of the staff were very accommodating. The food was made fresh for us to order and was incredible! The room was very clean. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

  The heavenly experience at the heaven on Earth

  It was such an INCREDIBLE experience to stay in a houseboat at Kashmir, that too at Gulrose owned by Kolu Houseboats which was no less than a 5 star hotel in terms of services, food and amenities. Kolu Group of Houseboats has 2 houseboats- Gulrose and Jilwi and both the houseboats are so beautifully and aesthetically done overlooking the beautiful Dal Lake in Srinagar. Gulrose had the most luxurious stay. Floating on water, we had every amenity we could wish for. We had a butler and shikara 24*7 at our service if we wanted anything to eat or drink or had to go to the shore. Kolu Group of Houseboats has been in the business since 1962 amd have deluxe and special houseboats in Kashmir. At Gulrose, we were surrounded with home-cooked meals, candle light dinners, designer heritage furniture and so much more. While on a vacay, a buffet is luxurious, but a sit down meal with family is the most comforting thing. Little did I know that Gulrose, our lovely and luxurious houseboat would give me what I was yearning for. When I woke up at the houseboat, a yummy breakfast was waiting for me. All set at the dining table, the dishes included kashmiri breads, poha, parathas, toast, fruits, cookies, cakes, juice and much more. The meal was made by the amazing cook at Gulrose and was served with love and care by the staff. Honestly, it was one of the best meals I had at Kashmir. There was SO much variety. It was such a beautiful morning Another beautiful memory is the candle light dinners arranged for us. A beautiful table setting with Fresh vegetables, chicken, meat, desserts, and all the heritage local dishes of Kashmir for the best food experience ever in life. Yummy, tasty, delicious, well presented food in the best place on Earth that is Kashmir- a beauty with its old culture, tradition and authentic food. The three bedroom boats had 2 Luxury rooms and a suite. Elegant bedrooms with pleasing interiors and unique individual character made our stay even more memorable. Walls and ceiling adored very intricate work with fine detailing and indeed was very tastefully done be it the upholstery or the fabrics or the bed linen. The large bathroom had Italian marble and a Jacuzzi for relaxation.The entire houseboat was just like a palace with beautiful chandeliers and color combinations. The management of Kolu Houseboat also arranged an evening Shikara for us. We not only experienced beautiful views but also dining and shopping during the ride.
