Detailed Reviews
The houseboat was such a perfect place to stay . We are staying during winter in Feb 2020, with outside temperature about minus 3, we will feel warmth and comfort in the house. It was just a good accommodation, food and service. We request for breakfast and dinner, and it was really good. With Mr Hajjaz, he simply can guide us what to do best in Kashmir, and will help at his best for our plan.
Will definitely go here again, should we come again to Kashmir.

I had good stay there. The caretaker of the boathouse is very friendly and easy to communicate. He was able to speak decent English. He been very helpful. Only minus I would say is I can hear everything happening around my room very loud and clear.

The view of the house boat is very nice and it is situated in between dal lake which is far from main road and noise pollution .
I highly recommend chicago house boat and thank ajaz bhai for taking good care of us.

Chicago Houseboats proved to be a home away from home. The warm hospitality of Khan Chacha and Basharath bhai made our stay comfortable and filled with great memories. The morning coffee and Khawa followed by scrumptious breakfast of our choice. You name it and they would prepare food of your choice from Poha, upma and stuffed paranthas. Then our plan included dinner too so got yummy home cooked food it was such a delight to get the warmth of the lovely dinner. Not one day we felt we were away from home. The owner Mr. Ijaz has really showed us what Hospitality in Kashmir means. It is a place to stay as your base point. And travel everyday for sightseeing as that gives you an opportunity to enjoy shikara rides through floating market every night. And early morning shikara rides are another bonus. The Chicago team is there to help you with all you require even the sight seeing travel. We really were able to have a relaxed and amazing trip. We came back with a promise to visit the place again. Once is not enough.

We stayed here for 5 nights and it has been a wonderful experience for us. Ajaz Khan and his staff were extremely helpful and made us feel very much at home. They went out of their way to make our visit great and helped us in arranging day trips to popular sights, and also our next destination Leh.
The houseboat is beautiful and the views are amazing. The food that was served were all homemade and tasted great.
I highly recommend Chicago group of Houseboats and would like to thank Mr.Ajaz Khan, his staff members Mohammad, Khan and Farouq, driver Mr Shahid Irfan and Ali Mohammad chacha, our Shikara man. They have made our Srinagar visit a very memorable one.

Had visited 10 years back , but the taste of Kashmiri Pulaav and Nadru saag cooked by Mahmood bhai is still not forgotten. They take very good care indeed. Ajaz bhai is a very good host . Our local sight seeing tours were arranged by him at that time too and it was seamless and very smooth . Theirs was a very neat and clean house boat with amazing views .
On our second visit to Shrinagar with kids , we went especially to show our kids around but couldn’t meet Ajaz bhai .

Pros:

4. The views from the houseboat, especially of sunset, are amazing.
Cons:
No cons as such.

Chicago Group of Houseboat's provided us with the perfect Kasmiri hospitality and was a memorable stay. We went back to this place , twice in a matter of a week. And recommended this place to all our friends.
Very warm and friendly staff, food is excellent and a homely atmosphere. The location is perfect, bang in the middle of Dal Lake, with a view of the beautiful shikaras going about their businesses.
Ajaz Bhai, who is the owner is an excellent host. And the manager Mohammad ji and Khan Bhai , are always there to pander to every little requirements.
Highly recommended!
