The pleasant ambience and the warm reception was really overwhelming particularly the... More

Booked a two night stay for my partner and two friends. It was booked at short notice. Mr Langoo, the owner, arranged trasfer from the airport to the houseboat. This involved a boat trip across the lake which was a really nice touch. The houseboat was clean and comfortable. If you are travelling in Spring - remember to bring warm... More

Quite simply, if you fancy the houseboat experience in Srinagar, I doubt you would do better than to book Fantasia. Rahim and his team were extremely welcoming, and we loved the location - so peaceful and beautiful. Having passed the main houseboat area of Lake Dal we were all very relieved we had opted for the adjoining lake instead, as... More

We were very happy with the houseboat and its services. In fact we returned to Fanntasia early from Gulmarg and spent a week sightseeing around Srinagar and using Fantasia as our... More

Probably a bit late in writing this review despite Anna sending me a reminder. We were in Srinagar for 4.5days and stayed at the Fantasia houseboat. I did a quick booking over phone. Since we were 3 adults with a 1.5yr old baby, we prefered the small boat which had two rooms with attached bathrooms. So, a boat to ourselves... More
