Why some are saying negative about Houseboat?

 

Negative reviews about houseboat experiences often stem from unrealistic expectations fueled by online content. Many people base their expectations on enticing photographs, videos from vloggers, and misinformation found on various websites. It’s important to recognize that houseboats differ significantly from hotels, with high maintenance costs contributing to slightly higher rates for well-maintained vessels.

Some points to be noted

  • The Air Condition in the room will not cool suddenly like in home and hotels. It will take 30 minutes to 01 hours to be in full power.
  • For the Full-Time A/C booking, at a time the A/C will work either in the bedroom or in Dining/Hall.
  • The food in the houseboat is on a fixed menu. Apart from any extra add ons/changes are chargeable.

  • The Houseboat will not park/anchor in the middle of the lake. It will park on the shore/village area where we need to connect electricity for the AC and charge the inverter. Parking a houseboat in the middle of the lake is also not allowed by the rules and it is also not safe.

Read: CANCELLATION POLICY

There is some rare chance of machinery breakdown while cruising or before, in that case, we will change the houseboat with another of the same category. If it is a below category we will refund the amount difference. Also, another issue that may rarely happen is with A/C which occurs due to the gas leakage in the compressor. In that case, the amount difference between A/C and Non-A/C will refund.
