Floating Luxury Group of Houseboats receives deeply divided feedback from its guests. Positive reviews frequently mention the exceptional hospitality of caretakers like Nazim and Nazeer, who create a welcoming, homely environment. These guests appreciate the authentic Kashmiri meals and the cozy, traditional decor of the houseboats. However, a significant number of reviewers warn of deceptive practices, alleging that online photos do not accurately represent the rooms. Some visitors reported missing amenities, such as promised jacuzzis, and described the management as rude when confronted with these discrepancies. Due to these conflicting reports, travelers are encouraged to confirm their specific booking details thoroughly before arrival.
