Waterfront holiday rentals in Azad Jammu and Kashmir

We had a truly lovely stay, and I must say, Rishi is an exceptional host. He went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable in every possible way. His suggestions for places to visit, dining, and shopping were always spot-on and reliable. The property itself is stunning and well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat. If you're looking to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of the city this is the perfect place to relax. Highly recommended!

Felt right at home. Whole family is great to talk to, they also provided us with local recommendations.

We were a party of 12 returning from a trek and Khalid's place was the best choice for all of us. We felt right at home throughout the stay. Khalid had called me right after booking the property and informed about dinner and breakfast availability. I am glad he called because after an exhausting week, we were treated with great food and beautiful property. Our friends have bookmarked this property to share with their friends. I am grateful to Khalid's staff to have made us feel at home.

We were a group of total 28 people. We all wanted to stay together in a single hotel during the Kashmir trip, but it was very difficult to accommodate so many people in a single hotel within our budget. Then we got a B&B river side home stay, which was better than our expectations. Just like a home. Such big rooms, well furnished, we may not get these even in any 5 star hotel. Our host Surya madam was very cooperative. She did not let us feel the need of anything. Those who are planning a Kashmir trip in a group should definitely try B&B River Side once. Thank you Suriya madam, thank you B&B.

5* Location: Right at the Dal lake waterfront -- almost a houseboat with blissful views and gentle breeze. But without the stench and hygiene issues of a houseboat. 5* Maintenance: Very nice interiors, clean linen and bath, small yet adequately functional kitchenette. And 24x7 hot water that was perfect for the cold weather. 5* Service: We were stuck in gridlocked Srinagar streets (due to Tulip festival) By the team time we checked in to the property it was very late in the evening (~9pm) Caretaker Musa Bhai waited patiently for us, even drove us to nearby restaurants and get dinner, helped plan our visits to Sonmrg, Gulmarg and other tourist attractions. Abid quick to respond to any queries. He helped find local tour operators. Only improvement I'd suggest is to install a RO Water Purifier. Felt guilty almost, consuming water packaged in plastic bottles. (btw this is across Kashmir hotels, not specific to this property)

Home away from home….

Shabir is a SUPERB host! He was considerate and attentive, ensuring our stay was comfortable., Check-in instructions were detailed and his responses quick. Shabir was respectful of our privacy yet always available when needed. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. The Houseboat itself was pristine and beautifully decorated with local handicrafts. Shabir has done an incredible job preserving its character and authenticity while offering modern conveniences. It has everything you’d need, from comfortable beds, lounging chairs, hot shower/bath, toiletries, utensils & extra blankets. The dining set is a work of art, carved in walnut wood. The views of the mountains, the lake left us in awe, especially at sunrise and sunset. We were surrounded with water lilies. The scenic serenity was perfect. We loved our stay here & recommend it very highly to everyone! Thanks for such a lovely stay Shabir, we look forward to seeing you again.

Mr Mufti, was very friendly and responsive right from booking to vacating the place. The cottage is situated in a very nice location, river Sind at the back with water running sound, Snow View mountains, and a pleasant climate when we went in April.

Staying at Sheerazi Homestay was a truly wonderful experience, in fact the best experience in our entire Kashmir trip. We stayed there for 4 nights (6th - 9th April) with elderly parents. The host were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were impeccably clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location was good, a little away from main city but very quite and peaceful, overlooking apple orchard, exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed exploring the local area thanks to their helpful recommendations. Shalimar bagh was just 5 mins from here. The best part of the homestay is Asif Bhai, who prepare delicious homemade meals and take care of every little requirement of ours. Sabir bhai manages the homestay really well and you can ask for any help from him. We felt like part of the family, and it was such a contrast to the impersonal atmosphere of hotels. We would highly recommend Sheerazi Homestay to all looking for a stay in Kashmir
