The deposit, and the bookings that carry one
A deposit is half the fee, settled before she sets out on certain bookings; it is part of the price, not a sum held aside and returned after the visit.
Half the fee goes ahead on these bookings:
- any booking made more than twenty-four hours before it starts;
- every overnight of eight hours;
- every booking with two therapists;
- a room at Schiphol or at an airport hotel;
- a peak date, such as King's Day, Pride, the Amsterdam Dance Event, Christmas to New Year or a large conference week;
- any session of three hours or more;
- the first booking a guest makes with the house, at any hour and any length.
A returning guest asking for one or two hours later the same day at an address in the city pays the whole fee on arrival instead, with nothing ahead.
What it amounts to
A first hour at 180 euros means 90 ahead and 90 at the door. A first ninety minutes at 270 euros means 135 and 135. Three hours at 540 euros confirms with 270. The overnight at 1,250 euros confirms with 625.
How it is settled
By card first, or by Revolut, Wise or crypto if you prefer. Bank transfer and PayPal are not used, and cash cannot serve as a deposit because it only changes hands in the room. The exact amount and the way to pay appear in the thread once the hour is agreed, and nowhere else.
If plans change
What happens to the deposit on a cancellation depends on the notice given. See cancellation and refunds, and the full terms on the booking terms page.
