Massage at Schiphol for regulars, from the second booking on

Who counts as a regular here

Nobody is issued a card and nothing is tracked beyond the booking thread you already have. A regular is simply someone who has booked before and will again. In practice that means a handful of recognisable patterns: cabin and flight crews whose rotation brings them back to the same airport hotels, engineers and consultants spending part of every week at an office at Schiphol-Oost, sales and account staff with recurring meetings in the business park at Schiphol-Rijk, and people who fly in often enough that they keep a favourite hotel. They share a habit more than a profile. They know how the evening goes, they know what they want from it, and they would rather not explain themselves from scratch each time. The rest of this page is written for them.

What gets easier after the first visit

The message shrinks. A first booking needs an address, an hour, a length and a name or a description of the evening. A later one can be a single line, because everything else is already sitting in the thread above it: the hotel you used last time, the length you usually take, the name you asked for. Writing a name, a day and a time and adding the words same as before is enough for a complete answer. The reply still confirms three things, the therapist, the figure and the journey time, because those are agreed per visit, but you are no longer composing anything. Regulars also stop needing the formats page. They know whether they are a ninety minute sensual guest or a nuru-before-a-free-morning guest, and they book accordingly.

What stays exactly the same

Three things do not bend with familiarity. Every booking at Schiphol is confirmed by half of the fee in advance, on the fortieth visit as on the first, because the journey out there is longer and the rule applies to everyone. Each visit is agreed on its own, so nothing renews automatically and no hour is held in your name for next month. And the therapist decides, every time, whether she accepts a booking and what a session includes; she states her limits at the start in her own words, and they hold until she leaves. None of this is a judgement about any particular guest. It is what keeps the arrangement reliable for everyone who uses it, including the regulars who rely on it week after week.

Massage at Schiphol and the rates that do not move

Regulars notice when prices change, so it helps that these do not. One hour with one guest is 180 euros, ninety minutes 270, two hours 360, three hours 540 and the eight hour block 1,250. A couple with one therapist pays 360 an hour; with a therapist each, 720. With two therapists for one guest, the hour is 360 for the pair of them. Those figures are the same at an airport hotel, in the business district and on a canal in the Jordaan, on a Tuesday afternoon and at four on a Sunday morning, and they include all taxes. There is no loyalty discount and no surcharge for the journey out. The figure you paid last month is the figure you will pay this month.

The deposit, seen from a regular's side

Frequent visitors mostly book at Schiphol, so nearly all of their bookings carry a deposit. Half goes ahead by card, Revolut, Wise or cryptocurrency once the hour is agreed, and the remaining half is paid on arrival. PayPal and bank transfer play no part in it. The one booking with no deposit at all belongs to the city: a returning guest asking for one or two hours later the same day at an address in central Amsterdam pays everything on arrival. Regulars who split their week between an airport hotel and a flat in town soon learn which of their bookings falls on which side of that line, and it stops being something they think about. The terms set out the full rule.

Changing plans without losing anything

Frequent travellers change plans often, so the cancellation rule matters to them a great deal. Cancel more than twenty-four hours ahead and the whole deposit comes back. Inside the final twenty-four hours, while she has not set out, half is kept and half returns. Once she is on her way, the deposit is kept, unless the hour goes to another booking, in which case it is repaid. One move to a new date within fourteen days is free if asked for more than twenty-four hours ahead. The practical advice from regulars is simple: book once the week is certain rather than weeks in advance, and move or cancel with more than a day to spare, when a changed rotation or a moved meeting costs nothing at all.

Asking for the same name again

Many regulars end up asking for one woman most of the time. That works the way any booking works: her name in the first line, and a reply saying whether she is free for the hour you gave. When she is, it is settled in a message. When she is not, you are told so directly and offered either another hour with her or another name for your hour; saying in advance which you would prefer saves a round of messages. She is under no obligation to accept any particular booking, and a declined request carries no meaning beyond the fact that the hour did not suit her. The page on asking for the same therapist again goes into this in more detail.

Where to go from here

If you are reading this before your first visit, start with the therapists and send a message with the four basics. If you have booked before, you already know the rest, and the only thing worth remembering is to give the hour in Amsterdam time rather than whatever time your phone is still keeping. Everyone involved, guests and therapists alike, is twenty-one or over, and a photo document may be asked for at the door on any visit, however familiar the face. It is looked at once and handed straight back, and nothing from it is kept.
