  • 5/5 Jyoti S. 5 years ago on Google
    Just spent an amazing two days at this place and I would highly recommend it. The unique and uncommon caravans are a treat as well as the location amidst nature gives one the perfect holiday vibes. The showers and toilets were clean, breakfast tasy and the staff, a special mention, were very friendly. We also rented bikes and drove to the scenic countryside not very far from the Hostel. The only drawback is the distance from the city center but the free shuttle service compensates for that. For the quiet and lovely surroundings, I would gladly travel 15-20 mins extra everytime. Would love to go back! Thank you Lucky Lake!!

    Wow what a find. Will definitely come back to stay here for a sunny weekend away from London. Staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Great setup. The movie trailer. The breakfast bus. Super clean and super chill. It is located on a lake where well-retired Amsterdammers greet you with a hallo while they swim past your kayak in the canals they use as roads to their island bungalows. There is great swimming/running here. You can do a run-swim-run-swim repeat biathlon across a circle of islands within the lake. Will definitely be back. Thanks Lucky Lake!

    Fantastic little place outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. Great atmosphere with very friendly and accommodating staff. Many spaces to sit back and relax, check out a movie in their theatre (photo below), or grab a bite to eat. They are also walking distance to a wonderfully designed café, and provide a shuttle to the metro. Cannot recommend enough.

    Magical! The hostel blends into an agreeable landscape. The staff is super friendly: always ready to help and chitchat. The breakfast is great. The room could've been cleaner, there was dust and hair left dragging on the floor and the bathroom. The Bike rental service is a huge plus, it is also affordable. To use the washing-machine, you pay around 7euros which I found exorbitant given the price one pays for the stay. I Loved staying at Lucky Lake hostel, would definitely go back to it!

  • 5/5 Jody K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It was great and we will go back vacation! One sees that all are with heart, especially this one, whom we called angels because they made the impossible possible (Original) Es war Mega klasse und wir werden wieder da Urlaub machen! Man sieht das alle mit Herz dabei sind, ganz besonders diese eine, die wir Engel nannten, weil sie das Unmögliche möglich gemacht hat?

    first stay at a hostel, and this place was great! Location is close to the train station, not near the city which was a win. Very quiet and peaceful. Staff was amazing, next time I go back, will 100% being staying here!

  • 5/5 Carla F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A perfect mix of authentic 60s atmosphere and "healthy" technology (5 minutes timer for constant showering), excellent cleaning, friendly and helpful staff, bare-foot turf, unexpected and pleasant animals. An opportunity not to be missed! (Original) Mix perfetto tra autentica atmosfera anni '60 e tecnologia di tipo "sano"(timer 5 minuti a t°costante per la doccia),pulizia eccellente,personale affabile e disponibile, tappeto erboso da piedi nudi,animali imprevisti e gradevoli. Un occasione da non perdere!

    Best hostel in Holland! Amazing feel good vibes, great service and the location - next to the lake is just so stunning and refreshing!

  • 5/5 Knut z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Everything sounds great on the website. and when you're there, it's even more idyllic & peaceful than described. Here you have from the 1st minute holiday & relaxation. The employees come from different countries, i. you have 95% of someone who speaks your native language. - sleeps in wooden huts or caravans, comfortable mattresses, limited space - no children, no pets - the breakfast buffet really has style, only the breakfast offer I find a bit meager, but a shop is not far, also the Goede morning Koffiehus is to be recommended - The lake is within walking distance, swimming, Bötchen & canoe drive - Bicycle rental, hourly shuttle to the train station - Amsterdam can be reached in 45 minutes by bike that was not my last visit to Lucky Lake (Original) auf der Webseite klingt alles so toll. und wenn man dann da ist, ist es noch idyllischer & friedlicher als beschrieben. Hier hast du ab der 1. Minute Urlaub & Entspannung. Die Mitarbeiter kommen aus verschiedenen Ländern, d.h. du hast zu 95% jemanden der deine Muttersprache spricht. - geschlafen wird in Holzhütten oder Caravans, bequeme Matratzen, begrenztes Platzangebot - keine Kinder, keine Haustiere - der Frühstücksbus hat wirklich Style, nur das Frühstücksangebot finde ich ein bisschen mager, aber ein Einkaufsladen ist nicht weit, auch das Goede Morgen Koffiehus ist zu empfehlen - der See ist fußläufig zu erreichen, baden, Bötchen & Kanu fahren - Fahrradverleih, stündliches Shuttle zum Bahnhof - Amsterdam ist in 45 Min. per Rad zu erreichen das war bestimmt nicht mein letzter Besuch am Lucky Lake

    (Translated by Google) Coolest and cutest hostel, comfortable caravan (presence of heating for cold nights), included a breakfast in the offer to start the day (possibility of pancakes). A shuttle is set up to transport the train station to the hostel, which is easier for those who are not driving. The staff are very friendly and present when needed. The hostel is located 30 minutes from the center and the most, it is located next to a lake. I recommend!! (Original) Coolest and cutest hostel, caravane confortable( présence de chauffage pour les nuits froides), inclus un p’tit déjeuner dans l’offre pour bien commencer la journée ( possibilité de se faire des pancakes). Un shuttle est mis en place pour le transport de la gare à l’hostel, ce qui est plus simple pour ceux qui ne sont pas en voiture. Le personnel est très amical et présent en cas de besoin ??. L’hostel se situe qu’à 30 minutes du centre et le plus, il se situe à côté d’un lac. Je recommande!!

  • 5/5 Jayla T. 5 years ago on Google
    Love love love. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's very clean. I love the breakfast setup they have and all of the cozy spots to chill. I HIGHLY recommend always coming here. The shuttle bus is perfect too, it really helped make the trip much easier.

  • 5/5 Ng J. 4 years ago on Google
    Best hostel I ever stayed :) Free shuttle bus is provided, the staff are really friendly and patient to help us even for very small things. The place is very pretty and photogenic, worth the price of the stay. The facilities are clean and easily accessible. Would definitely recommend it to everyone that visit Netherlands.

  • 5/5 Barrie S. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! Great atmosphere, beautiful location. Our rooms were even better than expected. Such a chilled out, beautiful place. Staff are fantastic. Regular free shuttle buses to station and back. I'd rate Lucky Lakes 6* if I could!

  • 5/5 Willow M. 6 years ago on Google
    Amazing hostel with the cutest cabins and caravans to stay in! The staff are all lovely and the shuttle to and from the train/metro station makes it fairly easy access. I didn't end up going to the lake til the last day I was there but it's amazingly gorgeous! Definitely reccomend going here. Just be aware that there is smoking in all areas of the hostel except the rooms themselves.

    I’ve stayed here twice now. Once in the spring, another in late summer. Both times have been absolutely magical. My first visit came at a time when I had been backpacking for about 3 months. I had stayed in basically every accommodation possible at that point. Airbnbs, hotels, friend’s flats, and more hostels than I can count. Lucky Lake stood out as my all time favorite lodging during all of that. The staff is incredible, the caravans are cozy, the vibe is mellow, and the tranquility afforded by the remote location is almost overwhelming. You’ll have to take the shuttle to get to and from the closest metro stop, but it’s really no big deal. During peak hours it makes 2 trips every hour, and offpeak is every hour. They have some snacks (~€3) and beer (~€1.5) on-site that you can purchase. The lake is a short walk away and the toilet/shower facilities are clean and well maintained.

  • 5/5 Georgia A. 6 years ago on Google
    Lovely hostel. Very clean with very good facilities. Dorm rooms were big and had lots of space. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel is outside of Amsterdam city centre, however it only takes 15/20 minutes on the metro to reach the centre and there is a free shuttle bus to Lucky Lake which runs from 7am until 1:30am every day. Could not really fault the place, I would definitely recommend staying here.

  • 5/5 Jack L. 4 years ago on Google
    Stunning place , the attention to detail is good to make sure your stay is easy and pleasant , the facilities are consistently clean , the service from the staff is exceptional we were treated well throughout our stay with help on anything you need and pleasant smiles . The breakfast was great with a wide variety . It’s amazing value for money especially with all you save from the facilities . The water sports were great and super cheap . Despite being during the heatwave the caravans were comfortable and clean as well as having great decor . I can’t recommend this place more nowhere else worth staying in Dam when this place exists will be coming back as soon as we can .

  • 4/5 Claire L. 9 years ago on Google
    Great place, great people! A colorful place, you will meet people from everywhere in the world, the staff is particularly helpful and friendly. The caravans are adorable & convenient, you will eat your breakfast in the yellow bus, feed the ducks, enjoy a movie in the smallest cinema of the world or just chill in the hammocks... It's a bit far from Amsterdam (you have to take the shuttle (1€) + metro or train, but you will definitely enjoy the quiet & charm of this place.

  • 5/5 AJ H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a hippies paradise! You’ll absolutely love the type of accommodation that these guys offer. Love everything about this place. Felt like being at home with a huge group of friends chilling and having a good time. Any trip I take to Amsterdam I will always come here for a few nights. A+++

  • 5/5 William C. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. Environmentally conscious, friendly staff. The cabin we're staying in is awesome. I have a feeling that even if nothing else goes right on out holiday, this place will always be a great memory for me and my partner.

    (Translated by Google) Great place very original but it was really extraordinary as an experience, with water points around. Really a very nice stay! (Original) Super endroit très original mais c'était vraiment extraordinaire comme expérience, avec des points d'eau aux alentours. Vraiment un très beau séjour !

  • 5/5 sae 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a little hostel, but a little far from the center. There is no problem because the shuttle bus leaves every hour from the nearest station! We stayed in the dormitory instead of the cabin, so it was 27 € per night. The shower is clean and easy, but I think the cospa is good as it also has breakfast. (Original) 中心からは少し離れていますが、可愛いホステルです。最寄駅からは1時間ごとにシャトルバスが出てるので困ることは無いです! 私たちはキャビンではなくドミトリーに泊まったので一泊27€でした。シャワーは清潔で、簡単ですが朝ご飯も付いているのでコスパもいいと思います。

    (Translated by Google) SUPERB LOCATION! The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is great (in terms of rooms, or the rest), everything is very clean, breakfast is good ... and in an old bus, it's crazy! The price / quality ratio is at the top! The only problem is the distance to the center (it takes 10 minutes to bus then 20 minutes to metro) but, there is a bus that takes you to the metro for free every hour. If you go, do not hesitate to take a walk at the lake, it's beautiful! In short, I highly recommend !!! (Original) SUPERBE ENDROIT ! Le personnel est très sympathique, l'ambiance est géniale (au niveau des chambres, ou du reste), tout est très propre, le petit déjeuner est bon ... et dans un ancien bus, c'est fou ! Le rapport qualité/prix est au top ! Le seul problème c'est la distance avec le centre (il faut 10 minutes de bus puis 20 minutes de métro) mais, il y a un bus qui vous emmène jusqu'au métro gratuitement chaque heure. Si vous y allez, n'hésitez pas à faire un tour au bord du lac, c'est magnifique ! Bref, je recommande vivement !!!

    Very quaint and unique hostel. Shuttle service to the train station was super helpful. Place was generally clean although being in the midst of nature meant a lot of mosquitoes and spiders
