The vocabulary of an Amsterdam evening booked from home

Short definitions for the words that appear between a first message written abroad and a door closing in Amsterdam, written the way the house uses them.

  • Outcall

    Outcall means she travels to the hotel room or apartment you reserved in Amsterdam; the house keeps no premises, so there is nowhere for a guest to go.

  • Overnight

    An overnight is an eight hour block, EUR 1,250 for one guest with one therapist, with both ends written into the confirmation and half always sent ahead.

  • Arrival Window

    The arrival window is forty to sixty minutes from her setting out to the knock in central Amsterdam; on a booking made ahead, she leaves in time for the hour.

  • Deposit

    The deposit is half the fee, sent before the trip by card, Revolut, Wise or crypto; it is the first half of the price and holds the evening once confirmed.

  • Balance on Arrival

    The balance is the second half of the fee, paid at the door when she arrives, at the figure agreed in the thread, in euros or a currency confirmed in writing.

  • Cancellation and Refunds

    More than a day ahead, the whole deposit is returned; inside the last day, before she sets out, half is kept; once she is on her way, all of it is kept.

  • One-Move Rule

    One change of date is free when asked more than twenty-four hours before the booked time, to a date within fourteen days; the whole deposit carries across.

  • Twenty-Four Hour Line

    The line falls one full day before the booked hour, in Amsterdam time; before it a cancellation returns the whole deposit, after it the notice scale applies.

  • Booking Thread

    The written conversation in which a booking is agreed: date, hour, length, the woman you named, the figure and deposit, and on the day the room number.

  • Room Number

    The room number is the last detail of a booking made from home, sent after check-in with anything the building needs; the hotel name is enough until then.

  • Lead Time

    Lead time is how far ahead a booking is made; it never changes the figure, but it decides how open her diary is, and past a day it means half goes ahead.

  • Peak Date

    Busy stretches of the year, such as King's Day, Pride, the Amsterdam Dance Event, Christmas to New Year and big conference weeks, all carry half ahead.

  • Force Majeure

    Events outside both sides' control that make the evening impossible, such as a transport shutdown or an official instruction; the deposit becomes credit.

  • False Bookings

    A booking under someone else's name or number, sent as a joke, or a no-show after either; an honest booking that is missed is an ordinary cancellation.

  • Twenty-One or Over

    Bookings are accepted only from people twenty-one or over, everyone present must be twenty-one or over, and she may ask to see a photo document at the door.
