Amsterdam massage: the words you will read in the reply

Confirmation, and to confirm

A confirmation is the moment both sides say yes to the same booking. Before it, nothing is fixed: not the hour, not the woman, not the price. After it, the hour is held for you. In the thread, the reply gives you the details, and your yes confirms them. Sometimes the reply asks you to confirm, which simply means: please answer yes if all of this is correct. If something is not correct, do not confirm. Write the correction first. The arrival time starts to count from the confirmation, not from your first message.

Arrival window

A window, here, is a stretch of time, not one exact minute. The arrival window for central Amsterdam is forty to sixty minutes after the confirmation. So if you confirm at 21:00, expect the knock between 21:40 and 22:00. The window exists because she travels through a real city, with bridges, trams and closed streets. Plan for the whole window. Be dressed and ready at 21:40, and do not worry until after 22:00. For an airport hotel at Schiphol, the window is different, and it is agreed with you before the hour is fixed.

Deposit

A deposit is half of the price, paid before she travels. It is not an extra cost. It is the first half of the same price. For example, one hour costs 180 euros: the deposit is 90, and the other 90 is paid when she arrives. The reply gives the deposit amount and the payment details only after the booking is agreed. You can pay a deposit by card, or with Revolut, Wise or crypto. A deposit is needed for most bookings, including every first booking, every overnight and every booking with two therapists.

Balance

In a bank, balance means the money in your account. In a booking, it means something else: the part of the price that is still to be paid. If there was a deposit, the balance is the other half. If there was no deposit, the balance is the whole price. The balance is paid when she arrives, at the door. You can pay it in cash in euros, in cash in another major currency, by card or by crypto. If you pay in another currency, the exact amount is written in the thread before she travels.

On her way

On her way means she has left and is travelling to your address. This moment matters for two reasons. First, from now on, a cancel costs more: with a deposit, the whole deposit is kept; without one, the share of the price that her journey represents is due. Second, from now on, the address must not change. If you need to change anything, write before she is on her way. If you are not sure whether she has left yet, ask in the thread before you change or cancel anything.

Notice

Notice is how much time there is between your message and the booked hour. More notice is better for everyone. With more than twenty-four hours of notice, a cancel costs nothing, and the whole deposit comes back. With less than twenty-four hours, but before she is on her way, half of the deposit is kept. Short notice for a new booking is also fine: a same-day booking is normal here. But some bookings, such as two therapists or the overnight, are easier to arrange with more notice, because two diaries or a whole night must be free.

Outcall, block, and other booking words

Outcall means she comes to you. There is no studio to visit. Block means a fixed number of hours for one price; the overnight is a block of eight hours for 1,250 euros. Rate means price. Ninety minutes means one and a half hours. Four hand means two therapists and one guest. Thread means the whole written conversation, from your first message to the last. Free, in the reply, means available, not without cost. A woman who is free at 22:00 can come at 22:00.

Price words: together, each, per hour

Three small words change a price, so they are worth a moment. Per hour means for each hour: 180 euros per hour for two hours is 360 euros. Together means one figure for everyone: two therapists cost 360 euros an hour together, not 360 each. Each means one figure for every person: a couple with a therapist each pays 720 euros an hour for the whole booking. If the reply uses one of these words and you are not sure which total it means, ask for the total. The reply will write the final figure in euros, one number, with nothing to add.

Words from the Amsterdam massage reply that sound worse than they are

Some words look serious but are simple. Kept means not returned. Returned means paid back to you. Re-let, or taken by another guest, means someone else booked the hour you gave up, and then your whole deposit comes back. Force majeure is a French phrase used in English. It means a problem that nobody could control, such as a transport shutdown. In that case, nothing is lost, and the deposit becomes credit for another date. The full details are on the booking page and in the terms.

When a word is still not clear

Ask. Copy the word into the thread and add a question mark. The answer will come back in simpler words, with no surprise and no impatience. It is always better to ask about one word than to say yes to a message you only half understood. If you would like the whole reply in your own language, use a translation app, and then check the numbers in the translation against the numbers in the English. The page on booking with a translation app shows how to do this safely.
