The erotic massage deposit in Amsterdam surprises some first-time guests, usually because they expected to pay everything when the woman arrives. For many bookings at this house, half of the figure is sent ahead when the office confirms, and the other half is paid at the door. This note explains which bookings carry a deposit, how the deposit is paid, what happens if a booking is cancelled or moved, and why the house works this way. The binding wording is on the deposit and cancellation page; what follows is a plain summary for visitors.
Which bookings carry an erotic massage deposit in Amsterdam
Half of the fee is sent ahead for each of the following:
- the first booking from any client the house has not looked after before, at any length and any hour;
- any booking made more than twenty-four hours before its start;
- every overnight;
- every booking with two therapists;
- every booking that runs to three hours or beyond;
- every Schiphol or airport hotel booking;
- every booking on a peak date, including King's Day, Pride, ADE, Christmas, New Year and the large conference weeks.
The only booking paid entirely at the door is a same-day massage session of one or two hours from a client the house has looked after before.
How much is sent ahead
The deposit is exactly half of the figure for your booking. A first hour for a single client with one woman sends half of the hourly fee ahead and pays the matching half on arrival. Ninety minutes split the same way, each side three-quarters of an hour's fee. A single client's overnight with one woman is halved down the middle too. A single client with two women for two hours sends ahead the equivalent of two single hours and pays two more at the door. A couple with two women for three hours sends six single hours ahead and settles six at the door. The office writes the exact amounts into the confirmation before anything is paid.
How to pay it
A deposit is paid by card, which is the first option offered, or by Revolut, Wise or crypto if you prefer. It cannot be paid by bank transfer or PayPal, and cash cannot work as a deposit, because cash only travels with her. The exact sum and how to send it are confirmed to you in writing inside the WhatsApp thread, once the booking has been accepted and before she sets out. If anyone asks you for money by email, from a different number, before confirmation, or by gift card or bank transfer, it is not the house. Once the deposit has arrived she can set out, and a central address usually sees her forty to sixty minutes later.
The balance, the other half, is paid when she arrives, in euro cash, by card or in crypto. Cash in another major currency is fine once the amount in that currency has been confirmed to you in writing.
What happens if you cancel
Cancelling never costs you damages. What the house keeps is the part of the fee it has already earned when your message arrives, and the notice you give decides that part. Cancel with more than twenty-four hours to go and the deposit comes back in full. Cancel inside the last twenty-four hours, before she has left, and half the deposit is kept while the other half is returned. Cancel after she has set out and the whole deposit is kept. If someone else books the hour you gave up, the deposit comes back whole, and you are always free to show that the house lost less than it kept, in which case it keeps less.
If the house cannot perform the booking, you choose between your money back and a new date. A booking taken without a deposit costs nothing to cancel before she leaves; once she is on her way, only the part of the fee her journey represents is asked for. A session you end early stays payable in full, because the hour was held for you and the minutes left cannot be offered to anyone else.
Moving a booking instead of cancelling
If your plans change, one move per booking is allowed. Ask more than twenty-four hours before the booked time, and choose a new date within fourteen days. The deposit carries over once. A second move, or one requested inside the final twenty-four hours, is treated like a cancellation sent at that moment and follows the same notice scale. The note on booking ahead suggests how to pick a date that is unlikely to need moving.
Why the house takes deposits
Three reasons. First, a woman who travels across the city at night to an address she has never visited deserves to know the booking is real. Second, the evenings most likely to be cancelled at the last minute, planned bookings, overnights and peak dates, are also the ones that turn other guests away. Third, a deposit makes false bookings rarer: invented names, borrowed numbers and pranks. When one happens anyway, a short internal note is kept for twelve months and never leaves the house, and where it may be a criminal offence the house may report it to the police.
Why the fourteen-day rule does not apply
Visitors from the European Union sometimes ask about the fourteen-day right to withdraw from a purchase made at a distance. Article 6:230p of the Dutch Civil Code takes certain contracts out of that right, among them services related to leisure activities where the contract fixes a specific date or period. A booking for a named hour on a named night is the case that exception is written for, so the fourteen-day right does not arise. For a same-night booking you are also asked to confirm in the thread that you want the session performed at once. The glossary entry on the deposit gives a shorter definition if you need one.
