Green Village Resort

A quaint hotel, with breathtaking views, reasonably comfortable.

Reviewed By shujab

A quaint hotel amongst breathtaking views along the "Line of Control", just the river divides this area from the Indian Kashmir. Spent a couple of comfortable nights here with OK catering. Very limited WiFi connection and no telephonic service worth using. Beautiful flower decked gardens. Limited hit water in the mornings. But, if you can accept this, you'll enjoy your stay here!

Sangam Hotel

Pathetic

Reviewed By farah s

Went for lunch with extended family ... in search of traditional Kashmiri meat balls ( goshtaba) . Was a gloomy place ... tablecloth was stained with different things here and there. Cutlery was old ...not properly washed . God know why we still ordered... though my sixth sense kept saying just leave ... Well after awhile ordered lunch was placed on the table .... as we were specifically there for goshtaba ... the first serving spoon went towards the dish ... but I stopped in the middle... thanks to my good eyesight... I said there is some insect on the meat ball... my hubby and bro in law said no no it must be pine nut . I said wait a min let me make sure . I picked that suspected insect with a spoon and placed it on the plate ... and Aaagh ! I was right . Called the waiter ... he was speechless... called the manager .... he started with lame excuses then was apologetic and wanted to replace the dish ... but by that time my threshold exceeded and we left the place .

Wadi Resort

Wish could move to the resort!

Reviewed By Zartaj S

Disclaimer: We left for our holidays a day after the lockdown was lifted so one must be more forgiving as the Travel/Hotel Industry has had to make a lot of cutbacks due to downsizing because of Covid. Also, AJK is relatively new to Tourism so one must give them time to grow. What needs urgent attention by the government is waste management. Sadly, all the waste matter including sewerage goes into River Neelum. Don’t know where to start. They have HOSPITALITY down to an art! From Mr Noman Abid (the owner’s son & manager) who did our reservations & was basically my ‘go to guy’ from the word go! Noman helped me plan the trip, where to eat, what to eat (he recommended Wazwan at Neelum view Mzd & we are so grateful), I could just go on but then it would be a review on him, lol. We were so fortunate as we had the owner Mr Abid with us throughout our stay. We didn’t need any entertainment as he regaled us with stories of his amazing & exciting life. We were made to feel so much at home that we actually cut short by a day our trip to Taobat to come back to a taste of home on the way back. Wish we could have brought Mr Abid back with us along with ALL the others. Mr Idrees (aka Qari Sahib) is the caretaker assistant manager/part time cook & anything else you want him to be. Everyone in Sharda knows & respects him. We were so grateful that he accompanied us to Sharda University & the power plant & recited Surah Rahman for us (at our request) in his melodious voice mashaAllah. Shahjee the cook was the naughtiest. He cooked up amazing meals for us at exactly the time we requested (didn’t experience this anywhere else in AJK) & then further tempted us with food he cooked for he staff (complimentary) which of course we would also want the next day, again. He is very eager to learn new things & jointly made an apple pie with us, using the limited resources available in Sharda. Do try his Steam chicken! Amazing! So tender. Shahjee is the only one in AJK that I didn’t have to teach scrambled eggs to. Again, he tempted us one day to try his cholay tarkari at breakfast…wow! He still shares pictures with us almost daily with the view, weather, his creations & makes us more nostalgic. The housekeeping boys/waiters Inaam & Zubair were like genies..always there whenever we looked up…waiting to serve. Wonderful boys, we learnt so much about the Kashmiri youth through them. Both the boys are pursuing further studies & working to supplement it. Our duas with them. Always eager to work, uncomplaining. Thank you! Imran & Shehzad were the errand boys. I think it was Shehzad who accompanied us on a trek to protect us (from I don’t know what, but Noman & Abid sahib insisted, lol). Learnt of their lives. The location of the resort was just as we wanted; private, away from the noise, pollution & tourists. The river, forest were right there & it is the only hotel on the strip with no construction after it. The rooms, sheets, towels were clean. We were provided with an extra mattress at no additional cost. That is what I loved about the place. They weren’t out to make a buck out of you..just wanted you to be as comfortable as possible, very service oriented. Very unlike the mercenary attitude at some of the other places. Of course there were negatives; the hot water was erratic though they really tried to keep piling wood in the geyser constantly. To get to the resort you need a 4wd which the resort provides for you to get there & the return (at no extra charge). But, for day trips, they do arrange local jeeps which Qari sahib tries his utmost to negotiate for you. So, that is an added cost. Another option though is that one can walk but you have to cross the shallow end of the river to get to town (no bridge, just erratic stepping stones), not dangerous but your feet will get wet. Our entire family would go back in a heartbeat; we miss Sharda & the people at Wadi Resort, the food, weather etc & this time spend at least a couple of weeks in shaa Allah. Thank you Wadi Resort for the wonderful memories. I do hope we bond again over our Turkish coffee, Saudi Ghava & Colombian coffee (all mine, gave them all a taste of different coffees & we all enjoyed them, every afternoon) real soon in shaa Allah. Till then, cheers & all the best..always!

Visit to Sharda

Reviewed By FarazBerg

Sharda is an amazing place too specially if you are coming in a hot season from a hot city like Lahore. It has amazing scenes and is very close to nature. You should stay here for at least 2 nights and enjoy the scenes and visit around the places in Sharda.
