Booking massages in Amsterdam, the first time and every time after
Every booking is made in writing and agreed in one thread. On a long stay that thread becomes a small record of the months you spent here: the address, the hours, the lengths, and how the deposit changed once the house had looked after you once.
A booking moves in four steps. You write with the facts. A reply confirms whether the woman or the hour you asked for is free, gives the figure and gives an arrival window. Where a deposit applies, half the fee is paid once the hour is agreed. Then she travels, which takes forty to sixty minutes to anywhere in central Amsterdam.
What to put in the first message
The address. For a rented flat, the street, the house number and which floor or which bell. Canal houses often have several doors and a shared staircase, so say which one is yours. For a serviced apartment or a hotel room, the building and the room number once you know it.
The date and hour. In Amsterdam time. After a few weeks the phone has usually caught up, but in the first days it has not.
The length. Anything from a single hour up to three, or the eight hour overnight, written as a number rather than as a mood.
Who. A name from the roster, or no name at all. If you give one, the reply says whether she is free; if she is not, it tells you who is at that hour.
Massages in Amsterdam and the deposit over a long stay
Half the fee goes ahead on seven kinds of booking: anything arranged more than twenty-four hours before it starts, every overnight, every booking with two therapists, every Schiphol or airport hotel booking, every peak date such as King's Day or the stretch between Christmas and New Year, every session of three hours or more, and the first booking anyone makes with the house.
That last line is the one a long stay grows out of. Your first booking carries a deposit whatever its length. After that, a same-day booking of one or two hours at an address in the city is paid in full on arrival, with nothing ahead. Anything else on the list above still carries half. So a guest who writes on a Tuesday afternoon for ninety minutes that evening pays at the door, and the same guest who fixes next Friday's two hours on a Monday pays half first.
Put in proportions: a first hour means half its fee before and half on arrival. A later same-day ninety minutes is paid whole on arrival. A three hour Saturday means half of its fee before, whether it is the second booking or the twelfth. Deposits are paid by card, Revolut, Wise or crypto, using details that appear only in the confirmed thread. Neither PayPal nor a bank transfer is used for it.
If the plan changes
Long stays are full of moved meetings and extended deadlines. One change of date is free when it is asked for more than twenty-four hours ahead and the new date falls within fourteen days; the deposit moves with it. Called off with more than a day to spare, a booking returns its deposit in full. Called off within the final twenty-four hours but before her journey has begun, it returns half. Called off after she has left for your address, it returns none of it, unless another guest takes up the freed hour, in which case every euro comes back. The questions page works through the awkward cases.
Half the fee goes ahead on a first booking and on anything planned over a day in advance, and a cancellation costs only what the notice decides; a returning guest's same-day hour or two in the city is paid at the door. Booking terms.
