Massage hotel Amsterdam, a glossary for the guest upstairs
Eighteen terms that come up between a room booked in the city and the knock at its door, from aparthotel to false booking, set down as the house means them.
-
Outcall
Outcall is the service that comes to the guest's own room instead of asking the guest to go anywhere; it is the only way this house works.
-
Overnight
An overnight is the house's longest reservation: eight hours, priced as one block for one guest with a single therapist and confirmed in every case with half its figure, paid before she sets out.
-
Duration Ladder
The duration ladder is the single rate card: prices set by how long a reservation lasts, how many therapists attend and whether one guest or a couple books.
-
Balance on Arrival
The balance on arrival is what remains of the ladder price, settled privately with the therapist in the room at the outset, by cash, card or crypto.
-
Deposit
The deposit is half the fee, named in the thread once the hour is agreed and paid electronically before she sets out; the notice given decides any refund.
-
Cancellation and Refunds
Cancellation and refunds: a deposit returns whole on more than a day's notice and by half inside the last day; once she is travelling, it counts as earned.
-
False Bookings
A false booking is a reservation made under another person's name, number or account, or as a joke, along with any no-show that follows from one.
-
Arrival Window
The arrival window is the forty to sixty minutes between a confirmed reservation and her knock, the same span for any central Amsterdam hotel.
-
WhatsApp Booking
A WhatsApp booking is a reservation requested, accepted and recorded in a written thread with the house, with nothing fixed until the guest agrees.
-
Guest Age Gate
The age gate is the brief check a visitor passes before this site opens; each guest who books, and each woman listed here, is twenty-one or over.
-
In-Room
In-room means a session inside the room or suite where the guest is staying; here it describes every reservation, since there is nowhere else to go.
-
Front Desk
The front desk is a hotel's reception and its staff; the house has no arrangement with any hotel, so each building's own visitor rules apply to every arrival.
-
Keycard Lift
A keycard lift will not travel to guest floors until a room card is presented; where a hotel uses one, the guest comes down and accompanies her up.
-
Aparthotel
An aparthotel is a building of furnished apartments with hotel services; for a visit, its entry codes, quiet lobby and neighbours matter more than a desk.
-
Boutique Hotel
A boutique hotel is a small, individually styled property, often in a converted historic building, where a busy ground floor gives way to quiet corridors.
-
Five-Star Hotel
A five-star hotel brings the full apparatus of service, from doormen and turndown to night managers and butlers, and each part bears on an in-room visit.
-
Discretion
Discretion, as practised here, means a quiet arrival, a room left as it was found, and a reservation nobody outside the guest's own thread hears about.
-
Hotel Zones
Hotel zones are the parts of Amsterdam where visitors stay, from the canal ring to the Zuidas; each has its own buildings, and all share one arrival window.
