Travellers who pass through Schiphol carry every kind of money: euros from the cash machine, dollars from the flight out, pounds from a previous trip, a card from a bank at home, an app for crypto. They also carry some uncertainty about how an outcall booking is paid. This guide clears that up. It is about the mechanics of payment only; the full terms of cancellation and refunds are on their own page.
Paying for a Schiphol hotel massage in two parts
Every booking at an airport hotel is confirmed with a deposit of half of its price. So is every first booking with the house, every booking made more than twenty-four hours ahead, every overnight, every two-therapist booking, every session of three hours or more, and every booking on a peak date. The deposit is sent once the office confirms, and the therapist sets out when it arrives. The other half, the balance, is settled on arrival. The only booking paid entirely at the door is a same-day session of one or two hours in the city from a guest the house has looked after before, and that exception never covers an airport hotel.
Working out the two halves
For one guest with one therapist: one hour is EUR 180, so EUR 90 ahead and EUR 90 at the door. Ninety minutes is EUR 270, so EUR 135 and EUR 135. Two hours is EUR 360, three hours EUR 540, and the eight-hour overnight EUR 1,250, with a deposit of EUR 625. For one guest with two therapists, the hourly rate is EUR 360 and the overnight EUR 2,880. For a couple with one therapist, the hourly rate is EUR 360 and the overnight EUR 2,500. For a couple with two therapists, the hourly rate is EUR 720 and the overnight EUR 5,760. In every case the deposit is exactly half, and the thread states both figures before you pay anything.
How the deposit can be paid
The deposit is paid by card, by Revolut, by Wise, or in cryptocurrency. These methods settle quickly and electronically, which matters because the therapist only leaves once the deposit has arrived. A bank transfer can take a day or more to land, so it is not used for deposits, and PayPal is excluded as well. Cash cannot serve as a deposit for the obvious reason that it only appears when the therapist is already in the room. The payment details are posted by the office inside the confirmed WhatsApp or Telegram thread, and nowhere else.
A word on payment requests
Because the deposit is paid before anyone arrives, it is worth being careful about where the request comes from. Details are sent only after you confirm a booking, only in the thread where you made it, and never by a third party or a different number. If someone contacts you separately asking for money in our name, do not pay. If you are unsure whether a message is genuine, ask in the original thread. The office will never be offended by the question.
Paying the balance at the door
The balance is settled when she arrives, usually in the first few minutes, so that nothing practical is left for the rest of the session. It can be paid in cash, by card or in crypto. Cash can be in euros or in another major currency, and the price stays a euro price, with the exact amount in your currency confirmed in writing before she sets out. For travellers straight off an international flight, this is often the simplest option: the notes from the country you just left are perfectly usable, and there is no need to queue at an exchange desk in the arrivals hall.
Paying for a Schiphol hotel massage with foreign cash
If you plan to pay the balance in a currency other than euros, say so in the thread, and mention which currency. The exact amount in that currency is confirmed to you in writing before she sets out, so there is no calculation to do in the room. US dollars, British pounds and Swiss francs are the most common. Please use notes rather than coins, and try to have something close to the right amount; the therapist will not always carry change in every currency. If in doubt, a card or crypto for the balance avoids the question entirely.
Card at the door
Paying the balance by card is simple and quick. Tell the office in the thread that you intend to pay by card, so the therapist is prepared.
Crypto for either half
Crypto can be used for the deposit, the balance or both. The office provides the wallet details in the thread and confirms the amount. Allow for network fees and confirmation times, especially for the deposit, since the therapist sets out only once the payment is visible. For the balance at the door, a payment made from your phone while she waits is fine, as long as it confirms within a few minutes. Guests who pay in crypto regularly tend to use it for both halves, which keeps the whole booking in one wallet.
Extending and paying for extra time
If you extend a session, the extra time is charged at the same hourly rate and settled at the end, by any of the balance methods. Each hour beyond three is charged at the same rate as the first. A session planned at three hours or more is confirmed with a deposit in the usual way, so it is simpler to book the length you want from the start than to extend repeatedly.
Tips
Tips are not expected, and there is no service charge. Some guests choose to leave something extra, especially after an overnight or a session at an unusual hour, and they usually give it in cash at the end. The journal note on tipping explains what is common. Nothing about the session changes if you do not tip.
If the booking is cancelled or moved
If a booking is cancelled, what the house keeps follows the notice given: nothing with more than twenty-four hours to go, half the deposit inside that window before she has set out, and the whole deposit once she is on her way, with the deposit returned if the hour is taken by someone else. A changed flight is handled on that same scale. A booking can be moved once to another date within fourteen days if you ask more than twenty-four hours before the start, and the deposit is carried over. A booking accepted without a deposit and cancelled after she has set out is asked only for the part of the fee her journey represents. If you end a session early on your side, the fee for the reserved time stays due. The cancellation policy gives the full detail and the reasons behind it.
A payment checklist
Before you book, know which card, app or wallet you will use for the deposit. After you confirm, pay the deposit using the details in the thread. Tell the office how you will pay the balance and, if in cash, in which currency. Have the balance ready before the therapist arrives. Hand it over in the first few minutes. Nobody under 21 is booked. With those steps done, payment takes a minute, and the session has nothing left in it but the session.
