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 companion format, such as a dinner date or the girlfriend experience;
- 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 is €180, so €90 goes ahead and €90 is paid on arrival. Ninety minutes is €270, split €135 and €135. A single client's overnight with one woman is €1,250, split €625 and €625. A single client with two women for two hours pays €720, split €360 and €360. A couple with two women for three hours pays €2,160, split €1,080 and €1,080. The office writes the exact amounts into the confirmation before anything is paid.
How to pay it
A deposit is paid by card, Revolut, Wise or crypto. It cannot be paid by bank transfer or PayPal, and it cannot be cash, because cash would arrive with her and the deposit must reach the office before she sets out. Payment details are sent only inside the confirmed WhatsApp thread, after the office has said yes. 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 clears, she leaves for your address and arrives forty to sixty minutes later anywhere central.
The balance, the other half, is paid to her when she arrives, in cash of any major currency, by card or in crypto.
What happens if you cancel
A deposit is not refunded. There is no sliding scale, no notice period after which part of it comes back, and no exception for a change of heart. When a booking is confirmed, a woman's evening is closed to other guests and requests for that time are turned away, so a cancellation costs her the booking whether it comes a week or an hour before. Genuine force majeure, such as a government ban on travel or a serious illness, is turned into credit for a later booking at the house's discretion, never into cash.
A booking accepted without a deposit that is then cancelled is asked for the same sum as a deposit would have been, as collateral. And a session ended early on the client's side is not refunded either.
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 a move requested inside the final twenty-four hours, counts as a cancellation and the deposit is forfeited. 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 filters out false bookings: invented names, borrowed numbers and pranks. Those are recorded, shared with other reputable houses in Amsterdam and, where appropriate, reported to the authorities.
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. Dutch law exempts services delivered on a specific date or in a specific period, under Article 6:230p of the Dutch Civil Code. A booking for an hour on a given night is exactly that kind of service, so the withdrawal right does not attach to it. The glossary entry on the deposit gives a shorter definition if you need one.
