We were a group of 8 with 4 rooms booked. This property was recommended by a common friend from Delhi and I just took her word for it. The entire communication with the owner Ajaz started weeks before when we inquired about the rooms, the food and even helped us to buy portable gas for our camping stoves since we were on a road trip to Ladakh and Manali. The rooms are bigger than what we imagined on a houseboat and the facilities are top-notch with separate lounge and dining areas. The food was excellent and the prompt service from the owner was embarrassing, to say the least. What we really liked was that the vendors from the silverware to the flowers were vetted by the owner first before they enter the house boat. Thank you Ajaz for the beautiful experience and of course the stories about Kashmir which we don't see or hear in the main news.…

This trip was for the three of us family members. We were looking for a quaint, peaceful place with a view - we got all three and much more with Lily of Nageen. It is situated on Nageen Lake which is away from Dal and the commercial hustle bustle. On one side of the houseboat you have the view of the lake and on the other side a lush park. The owner (Ajaz) is very passionate and knowledgeable about Kashmir and its culture. He's a great conversationalist and gets everything arranged as per your convenience. Our travel plans and visits were all taken care of by him and his team. The houseboat is quite spacious and packed with amenities. We stayed in unpredictable weather and got to see the sturdiness of the boat in action. Even on a stormy cold night, there was electricity back-up and hot water running. The food is home-made and absolutely delicious - all thanks to Sameena. Everything is served fresh and the boat was maintained by Ajaz bhai (yes,also named Ajaz :) A special shoutout to Ameen chacha for the shikara ride. We had Abid as our guide. We stayed in Srinagar throughout but visited Pahalgam & Gulmarg on different days. He gave us accurate information and guidance around all places we visited and ensured we were comfortable and safe. If you are looking for a peaceful, cozy and friendly stay, do not miss this place. Remember, this is someone's home and not a hotel. All in all, don't think twice if you plan to visit Srinagar. This will be my go-to place for all the future times I visit Srinagar.…

Lily of Nageen has all that you need for a pleasant, cozy and affordable stay at Srinagar with beautiful lake view and Mountain. This is my second time stay at the house boat - first in September for 2 days and second in October for 5 days. Ajaz has become a part of our family now. He is such a humble and warm host taking care of all travel needs of the guests. He will be there to assist you whenever you need without any complaints. There is a beautiful garden next to the house boat where you get the complete view of the misty Himalayas. Ajaz bhai at the house boat is so caring that I have never felt so much hospitality anywhere else I stayed till now. The food was beyond words with the home cooked biryani still making my mouth water. Sameena Didi and Ammi are the best chefs catering to all our food requirements. You will never regret choosing this place which will make you FEEL AT HOME!!…

The houseboat is beautiful. Each room is a piece of art. The dinner served was homely and tasty. The host was hospitable and friendly. However a bit of advice......avoid buying goods from the vendors who come there to sell their wares. Highly overpriced. A trip to Lal Chowk will take care of all your shopping needs.
