The overnight block in Amsterdam, priced as a block
The overnight is eight hours at one figure rather than an hourly rate that nobody stopped. It is 1,250 euros for a single guest and 2,500 for a couple sharing a therapist, and where in the night the eight hours sit is yours to decide. The reason it is priced as a block is practical: a night charged by the hour makes a guest watch the clock, and clock-watching is the one thing this booking exists to remove. It gets written most often by people on the last night of a trip, and by people who worked out fairly early that sleep was not going to happen on its own.
The technique, in full
Where it comes from
The block emerged for guests who wanted a night without an accounting of it: one figure, eight hours, no counting. It remains a regular booking for hotel guests whose last morning has no fixed departure, and for anyone for whom the difficult part of a stay is not the evening but the hours after it.
How it is worked
There is no single technique across eight hours, and pretending otherwise would be silly. Most of the work in a block is the slow oil vocabulary of the sensual booking, spread out with long gaps rather than compressed. What actually distinguishes it is pacing: nothing is timed, nothing has to reach a point by a particular hour, and the gaps are part of the booking rather than an interruption to it.
What to expect
She generally arrives in the late evening, like anyone visiting, and states her limits at the start in her own words as on every booking here. How the eight hours run is settled with her rather than scheduled in advance: work, rest, conversation and actual sleep in whatever order the night takes. There is no alarm and nothing is announced. In the morning there is no rush at the door, which is the part guests mention afterwards more than any other. Half of the figure goes ahead before she sets out and the balance is settled on arrival, with nothing added later for anything.
Who it suits
The last night of a trip, a stay with no fixed morning, and anyone who has already worked out that the hours after midnight are the difficult ones. It suits a room you are not sharing. It is less suited to a guest with an early flight, and to anybody who would rather have a defined session with a defined end.
What it does for you
Time without time pressure, which reads as a small thing on a page and does not feel like one at four in the morning. There is also the practical benefit that nothing has to be decided in advance about how the hours are used, so a night that turns out to be mostly sleep and a night that turns out to be mostly conversation cost the same and neither is a disappointment.

The tariff
Asked about this one
What time does it start?
Where you put it. Late evening is the usual start and the block runs eight hours from there, but the placement is yours and it is fixed in the thread along with everything else. Say the start hour in Amsterdam time when you write.
Is it eight hours of massage?
No, and it would be an unpleasant booking if it were. It is eight hours of her time, and how they are used is settled with her on the night. Most blocks include a good deal of rest and some actual sleep.
Is the deposit the same as other bookings?
Half, as on every block, whatever the notice. That is 625 euros on the single overnight, 1,250 on a couple sharing, and half of the two therapist figures respectively. Whatever remains of the figure is handed over once she is through the door.
