We stayed at Lux House on the Water in Amsterdam in October 2026 with our three teenage sons. The houseboat was exactly as pictured. Small be surprisingly spacious, clean and well equipped. The property was perfectly decorated with a high-end design aesthetic. The location was great in the De Pijp area of Amsterdam, walking distance from fantastic dining, shops and pubs. Our absolute favorite was the floating dock connected to the houseboat- we would sit there watching the boats go by relaxing and enjoying our time together. Leandro and Valerio were perfect hosts. Oh and the cabin spa was such a treat we all took turns using it after returning from long days of sightseeing.

My friends and I had a great stay! Leandro was very responsive and helpful. The apartment was so fun and it couldn’t have been in a better area. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun stay in De Pijp!

My family were in the Lux House on Water Boat this September 2026. Valerio and Leandro were very helpful with us all the staying. It was a great and nice and big Boat. Negro to Amstel River. Kids enjoyed it a lot and it is the perfect place to be dir Ying your staying in Amsterdam. For sure much better than a simple Hotel. This is the place to have this great experience. The Cabin Spa and Massage in the Boat was great and the terrace next to the River perfect for a morning breakfast or a nice viewing in the sunshine. I recomend it 100%. Thanks for all Valerio and Leandro.

We had the best week staying on this house boat. The boat is spacious and has all the comforts you need for your stay. We loved the location as well it’s in a very nice part of town away from the chaotic city center but still close enough to get to every thing you need. We especially loved the floating dock where we spent every evening watching the sunset and watching the boats go by. I would highly recommend staying here for a truly unique experience.

We had a great time in Amsterdam! Everything was walking distance. The host was super helpful and friendly. Everything was wonderful! Would recommended this place to a group of 2 -4 people! We all had a great time

Four of us had a wonderful stay in this apartment hosted by Leandro in February of 2026. The apartment itself was clean, cosy, and comfortable. The neighborhood of Dr Pijp is beautiful and there are plenty of shops and restaurants around. It is easily walkable to the major museums and center of town. Leandro was communicative and helpful leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

2 En-suite Bedrooms + AC · De Pijp near Museums The apartment was easy to find and get inside - the instructions are comprehensive. The place is well furnished and we were able to get the temperature right easily. Pay attention to the instructions about the stairs - they are steep - and you take any tours around Amsterdam while you're there you might find out why all stairs are steep in the city. There were plenty of consumables left for our use, and the apartment is in a pleasant area with shops and cafes very close by. The guide was full of info, and our host was communicative both before and during the stay, checking in that everything was OK.

Lovely spot. 2- en suite bedrooms in de Pijp with A/C. Plenty of room for two couples. Very convenient. Love pub at the corner with lots of places to eat.
