“Home away from home ❤️ This place deserves more reviews!”
We absolutely loved our stay at Iram Houseboat. It felt like a home away from home, warm and truly Kashmiri. The hospitality was outstanding, especially from the owner and the young man who looked after us, ensuring we were comfortable throughout. A special thanks to the owner for explaining the houseboat’s history and making our stay memorable, and to the young boy who was always available, helping with everything and sharing local tips that you can’t find online. As a local explorer, his insights added depth to the experience. The room was amazing, warm, and very comfortable; the traditional bukhari heater kept it cozy, and the three clean woolen blankets made our nights comfortable even in the cold. The whole room, like the rest of the houseboat, was lined with beautiful carpets, adding warmth and authenticity. The intricate wooden carvings on walls, ceiling, and furniture gave the space a timeless feel. The common areas were equally charming; the dining and sitting areas were beautifully maintained with handcrafted wooden furniture, detailed carvings, and a calm, inviting atmosphere. Everything was clean, well arranged, and thoughtfully kept, making it a pleasure to spend time indoors. The food was amazing and felt like home‑cooked Kashmiri meals. The bathroom was a bit old but kept very clean. Hot water can be slightly tricky, coming from an external heater through metal pipes, and in sub‑zero temperatures it cools quickly, but that didn’t take away from the overall comfort of the stay.
