Is there anything in the full terms that is not in this list?

Nothing that changes what you pay or what you are asked to do. The terms and the booking terms page give the same rules in longer, more formal wording, with worked figures for cancellation and a fuller account of how the fourteen-day withdrawal right applies to bookings for a named hour.

What does the house need from me at the very least?

Where you are staying, the date and hour, the length, a name or a line about the evening, and whether you are one guest or two. Where a deposit is due, it needs that as well. Nothing else is required: no account, no date of birth in writing, no explanation of your trip.

I booked two hours but want to stop after one. Do I get half back?

No. A session ended early, by either side and for any reason, stays payable for the time that was reserved, because that time was held for you and cannot be offered to anyone else at short notice. Nothing is added beyond that figure. If you know before she sets out that one hour will do, say so in the thread and the booking simply becomes an hour at 180 euros.

Can I move a booking twice?

You can, but only the first move is free, and only when it is asked for more than twenty-four hours before the start and the new date falls within fourteen days. A second move is treated as a cancellation written at that moment and read on the notice scale; whatever the scale does not keep travels on to the new date.

What happens if my flight is cancelled and I cannot get to Amsterdam?

An airline cancelling or moving a flight counts as a change on the guest side, so it is handled as a move or a cancellation on the usual scale. Given early, that often costs nothing at all. Only something genuinely outside the control of either side, such as a transport shutdown or an official instruction that makes the journey impossible, turns the deposit into credit automatically.

Where do I find the worked figures?

On the booking terms page, which takes several bookings through each stage of notice in euros. The same rules appear briefly on the booking page and in the FAQ.

Amsterdam Massage Booking Steps, One per Line

Some readers want an essay; others want the list. This page is the list. Each step is a single line, and under it, in a sentence or two, sits the rule that explains it. Read it through once from start to finish and you will have read everything that governs a booking with this house. The fuller explanations live on the booking terms page and in the terms, but nothing on either page contradicts or adds a condition to what is written here.

Before the first message

Choose the evening, in Amsterdam time.
The rule behind it: every hour in the thread is read as local time, so a start given in the time zone you left behind is a common way for an evening to be missed.
Choose the length.
The rule behind it: one hour is 180 euros, ninety minutes 270, two hours 360, three hours 540 and the eight hour overnight 1,250, whatever the day or the hour.
Decide whether you are one guest or two.
The rule behind it: a couple sharing one therapist is 360 euros an hour, a couple with a therapist each is 720, and both people must have agreed before anything is booked.
Look at two or three profiles, or none.
The rule behind it: every profile on the roster shows age, languages, the district she sets out from and photographs published with her agreement, and every one carries the same rates.
Check that your room will be somewhere you can let a visitor in.
The rule behind it: the house keeps no premises, so every booking takes place in the hotel room or apartment where you are staying.

Writing and reading the thread

Write where, when, how long, a name or a description, and whether there are two of you.
The rule behind it: those five points are all a reply needs, and nothing else about you is asked for.
Read the reply.
The rule behind it: the reply says who is free at your hour and gives the exact figure; it is the house confirming availability, not a booking yet.
If the woman you named is not free, decide what you would like to do.
The rule behind it: the reply says only who is free, and the choice of name stays yours, including the choice to try another evening instead.
Ask anything that is unclear.
The rule behind it: nothing is held until you confirm, so a question at this stage commits you to nothing and costs nothing.
Confirm in writing.
The rule behind it: a booking exists only once you have said yes in the thread and, where one is due, the deposit is settled.

The deposit

Check whether half the fee goes ahead.
The rule behind it: a deposit is asked for on a first booking with the house, on anything made more than twenty-four hours ahead, on overnights, on two therapists, on three hours or more, on airport hotels and on peak dates.
Pay it by card, or by Revolut, Wise or cryptocurrency.
The rule behind it: bank transfer and PayPal are not used, and cash cannot be a deposit because it only changes hands once she is in the room.
Pay only the amount given in the thread, by the route given in the thread.
The rule behind it: the sum and how to pay it appear there and nowhere else, so any other request can be disregarded.
For a same-day booking, write that you want the session carried out straight away.
The rule behind it: a booking agreed at a distance for a named hour falls outside the fourteen-day withdrawal right, and this sentence records that you asked for it to go ahead at once.

On the day

Put entrance directions in the thread early.
The rule behind it: she comes to the room itself, so a courtyard, a shared street door or a bell without a name needs explaining before she sets out, not after.
Turn the heating up about an hour ahead.
The rule behind it: lying still needs a warmer room than sitting, and hotel heating takes time to catch up.
Swap the ceiling light for a lamp and clear a chair by the door.
The rule behind it: she brings her own towels and oil, and needs only somewhere to put her coat and bag.
Expect her forty to sixty minutes after confirmation, if the booking is for now.
The rule behind it: that window holds anywhere in central Amsterdam, at any hour, with nothing added for the journey inside the ring.
For Schiphol, agree the journey time before anything else.
The rule behind it: airport hotels sit outside the city window and are arranged separately, with half the fee ahead.

At the door

Open the door and, if asked, show a photo document.
The rule behind it: everyone present must be twenty-one or over; the document is seen once, returned at once and never copied.
Pay the balance on arrival.
The rule behind it: the second half of the fee is due when she arrives, in euros or in cash in another major currency if that exact sum was confirmed in writing beforehand.
Sit down before anything begins.
The rule behind it: the first quarter hour is for agreeing warmth, light, pace and pressure, and it is part of the time you booked.
Listen to what she says the session includes.
The rule behind it: the therapist decides what a session includes and states her limits at the start, and they hold until she leaves.

During and after

Say if anything should change: warmth, pressure, pace.
The rule behind it: those are yours to ask for at any point; what the session includes is hers to decide, and her answer is the answer.
Do not press a limit she has named.
The rule behind it: if a limit is pressed, the visit ends there, the fee for the reserved time stays due and nothing further is added.
If you would like to stop early, say so.
The rule behind it: a session can be ended by either side at any time, and the fee for the time reserved remains payable.
Let her keep the time.
The rule behind it: the length you booked is the length you have, and she tells you when it is nearly up.

If the plan changes

To move the date, ask more than twenty-four hours ahead, for a date within fourteen days.
The rule behind it: that first move is free and the deposit travels with it; a second move, or one inside the last day, is read as a cancellation made at that moment, and whatever is not kept travels on.
To cancel, write in the thread as early as you can.
The rule behind it: more than a day ahead, the whole deposit returns; inside the last day and before she has left, half is kept; once she is on her way, all of it is kept unless the hour is taken by someone else, and never more than the loss you can show was actually caused.
If there was no deposit, cancel before she leaves.
The rule behind it: without a deposit, nothing is owed before she has set out; after that, only the share of the fee her journey represents, and never damages of any kind.

The three lines people forget

Most of the list above is common sense written down. Three lines are the ones that returning guests tend to miss, and each is worth a second look.

The first is local time. Guests who have come from another continent often write while their phone still shows home, and a start of eight in the evening becomes, without anyone noticing, a start of two in the morning. Giving the hour with the words Amsterdam time after it removes the problem entirely.

The second is the directions. Older buildings in the canal ring and De Pijp hide their upper floors behind a second door, a narrow corridor or a courtyard, and hotel annexes sometimes have their own entrance round the corner. A line about the way in, written a day early, saves ten minutes of searching in the rain.

The third is the one free move. It is generous, but it has two conditions: the request has to arrive more than twenty-four hours before the booked start, and the new date has to fall within fourteen days. A move asked for on the morning of the day is still possible; it is simply read on the notice scale rather than being free.

What is not on the list

There is no step for opening an account, because there is none. There is no step for handing over a date of birth, because the document at the door is seen and returned rather than recorded. There is no step for agreeing a price on arrival or for negotiating anything at all, because the figure in the thread is the whole figure. And there is no step asking you to explain yourself. The first booking guide covers the same ground in longer form for anyone who prefers paragraphs, and the page about a slower start and a warmer room goes further into preparing the room itself.
