Questions Amsterdam visitors ask before booking

The one who lives closest. Our companions are based in four districts, so a guest on the canal ring is best served from Amsterdam Centrum or the Jordaan, while someone near Museumplein or the Vondelpark should look at Oud-Zuid. The roster lets you filter by district. Distances inside the city are short and anyone can reach you; choosing her home district simply trims the wait.

More than for the city itself, because your companion travels out from Amsterdam. Schiphol and Utrecht are the closer of the four, while Den Haag and Rotterdam take the longest. There is no fixed rule, since trains, traffic and the time of night all play a part. Tell us your hotel and preferred time, and we will say honestly what is realistic before anything is confirmed.

Yes. Plenty of clients plan ahead around a concert, a conference at the RAI or a weekend away. Send the date, an approximate time and your preferred companion, plus a second choice if you have one. We confirm it in writing like any other booking, usually with a deposit for a date that far out, and from your written yes it is final: cancel it and the charges in our terms apply, with the deposit kept against them or, if you cancel early, held as a 12-month credit. On the day itself we only check the practical side: the door, the room number, the exact minute. For big occasions such as King's Day, when the whole city turns orange, planning ahead is especially wise.

One hour. It is also the only price we publish, starting from €180. Anything longer is quoted individually for the companion and the plan you have in mind, and you can see how that works on the rates page.

That is exactly what a dinner date is for. Tell us the restaurant, or at least the neighbourhood, the time and how long you would like the evening to run. Dinner dates are priced on request and confirmed in writing on WhatsApp. Our companions are as comfortable at a candlelit table in De Pijp as in a formal dining room near the Concertgebouw.

Not at all, this is Amsterdam. Houseboats, canal-house apartments and short-stay rentals are all fine for an outcall visit. Just give us precise directions: the quay and number for a boat, or the floor and the name on the bell for an apartment. Staircases here are steep and doors can be hard to spot after dark, so one extra detail in your message saves time on the doorstep.

Every companion on our roster speaks English, which is the everyday language of international Amsterdam anyway. If another language would make your evening easier, mention it when you message and we will be upfront about whether that is possible.

Yes. WhatsApp is our main line and usually the quickest, yet Telegram does the job equally well for arranging a booking, from the first question to the final confirmation. You will find a button for each app on every page of the site.

Of course. Heading to the Concertgebouw, a business dinner or a relaxed cocktail bar? Tell us in advance and your companion will dress to suit the setting, in her own style. Each profile gives a good sense of how she likes to present herself, so reading a few is the best place to start.

Often, yes, if her schedule allows. Ask us on WhatsApp or Telegram rather than agreeing it on the spot, so we can check her next commitment and confirm the extra time and rate in writing. That keeps things clear for both of you.

You can send the message, but it is never free: a confirmed booking is final, so cancelling is charged for the time we held for you. For bookings of one to three hours, counted from the agreed start: more than 48 hours ahead, no charge beyond the deposit, which is not refunded but becomes a credit you can use within 12 months; 48 to 24 hours ahead, half the agreed fee; under 24 hours, the whole fee. Dinner dates, overnights, duos, couples, extended days and travel run on a longer clock: more than 7 days ahead the deposit becomes the credit, 7 days to 72 hours is half, under 72 hours is the whole fee. Not being at the address, or not answering the number you booked with, within 30 minutes of the start is a no-show and counts as the whole fee. The deposit is set against whatever is owed and anything above it is invoiced. A delayed flight or a meeting that overruns changes none of this; ask early and we will try to move the time instead, once, if her schedule allows. A booking is a leisure service for a fixed date and time, so the 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts does not apply, under article 6:230p, sub e, of the Dutch Civil Code (article 16(l) of Directive 2011/83/EU). The full scale, with a worked example in euros, is in our terms.

Sometimes, and we decide per booking. Dates booked well ahead, long formats, duos, travel, first-time clients and busy nights are the usual cases. If we want a deposit we say so in the chat before you confirm, with the amount and how to pay it; none of that is published on this site. The deposit is an advance on the fee, so it comes off the total and the balance is paid when the booking starts. It never comes back as money: on a late cancellation or a no-show it covers the charge, on an early cancellation it stays with us as a 12-month credit. We only ever ask for it inside the same chat in which the booking was confirmed in writing.

The blur protects the companions' privacy; this is a small city and they live in it. And they have a lot to protect. Among the women on our roster are influencers who post for a living, models whose faces have sold clothes for fashion houses, doctors and lawyers, entrepreneurs with their own company, mothers and partners with a full life right here in town. A clear face on the internet never leaves it: it gets indexed, searched and screenshotted by people you will never meet. The blur is the promise that lets women like this work with us, and it is exactly why you spend the evening with someone worth talking to. We never send unblurred photos to new guests, no matter how the request is put. Tell Ilse what kind of evening you are after and she will put you with the right woman; she knows every one of them personally. Every set is checked by us against the woman herself before it goes on the roster, and the companion we confirm in the chat is the one who rings your bell, with the figure, the hair, the styling and the presentation you saw. Because the face is not shown, 'she does not look like her photos' cannot be checked at your door and is not a reason to cancel, to ask for a refund or for a credit. Turning her away there counts as a no-show.

Then the choice is yours, not ours. If we cancel, or the companion we confirmed cannot come for a reason that has nothing to do with you, you pick a new date or another companion at no extra cost, or you get everything you paid back in full within 14 days. We may suggest a substitute; we never impose one, and if you say no the refund follows. The same applies when something outside everyone's control gets in the way.

Because the city is the point. Amsterdam is at its best on its own streets, in rooms overlooking the water and in the neighbourhoods visitors fall for. Coming to you also keeps everything simple and discreet: you stay where you are comfortable, and she arrives as your guest. It lets us cover four districts and the cities beyond without asking you to travel anywhere. Read more about our approach on the about page.

Courtesy, mainly. Be at the agreed address on time, sober enough to enjoy the evening, and treat your companion with the respect you would show any invited guest. Our companions are free to end a booking when that respect is missing, and a booking ended for the client's conduct is charged as a cancellation at the whole fee, deposit included. If you are unsure about anything, ask us before the booking rather than during it. Clients who keep things simple and polite are always welcome back.
