We recently stayed at the Golden Flower Houseboat and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Let's start with the positives. The houseboat itself was nice, providing a cozy and comfortable retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The food service was decent, but only if you specifically request it. The staff, when prompted, will make an effort to accommodate your needs. However, the real disappointment came in the form of the boat's guide and taxi driver, Hamid. Frankly, his demeanor was anything but pleasant. Throughout my stay, he exuded negativity, condescension, and an overall lack of hospitality. His attitude turned what could have been a relaxing vacation into an uncomfortable ordeal. Another major drawback is the lack of freedom to come and go as you please. Each time you want to exit or enter the boat, you're at the mercy of a ferry, often resulting in frustrating waits. During these waiting periods, you're subjected to a barrage of people invited onto the boat to sell various goods, hardly conducive to a relaxing atmosphere. If you do decide to book with Golden Flower, I strongly advise planning separate day trips to spend the majority of your time away from the boat. Otherwise, relaxation will be a rare commodity amidst the constant presence of what I can only describe as the "lake gang." Furthermore, if you're not of Indian descent, be prepared to feel like a walking money bag, constantly targeted for sales pitches. On the flip side, if you are Indian, don't expect warm hospitality either, as the staff's demeanor seemed colored by the historical tensions between Kashmir and India, as well as the differences in religion. Adding to the frustration, you will often be told that you're making a mistake if you have plans outside of the staff's agenda. They can even control when you make your appointments, so be sure to plan ahead, especially when departing to the airport. It's advisable to add extra time to your schedule to avoid being hustled for more money at the last minute. Moreover, any gesture of kindness from the staff should be viewed with skepticism, as it often turns out to be a con job. Be prepared for demands of obscene amounts of money at the end of the day for services that should have been included. Do not book tours through these people, no matter how much they insist. The going rates will likely be exorbitant, leaving you feeling like you've been taken advantage of. Lastly, for vegetarian guests, the food options are disappointingly limited. In conclusion, I can only give Golden Flower Houseboat a generous 2 stars. While the boat itself and the meal service were commendable, the poor treatment by Hamid and the constant hassle from unwanted locals left much to be desired. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

I am extremely happy that I have visited such a beautiful place. Hamid uncle has planned out our two days trip very well. He took us to Dal Lake, Mughal gardens,Pahalgam and Gulmarg. Houseboat stay was a different experience. Morning view from house boat was very beautiful. Overall I can say it was a wonderful trip in Srinagar. Hopefully I will try my best to come on winter season to visit this place again. 😊
