One thread is all it takes

Everything here runs through a single written thread: enquiries, bookings, changes of plan, questions at strange hours. Write as much or as little as you like, and the reply comes back in that same place.

Body to Body Amsterdam has one front door, and it is a written conversation. Bookings, questions, changes of plan and the occasional note after an evening all arrive in the same place.

We work in writing for the same reason galleries label their walls: so nothing depends on memory. A thread keeps the who, the where and the when visible to both sides, lets you book from a meeting or a departure lounge without saying a word aloud, and gives you something to check at midnight when you cannot recall whether you said eleven or eleven-thirty. The WhatsApp button on this page opens the thread; there is nothing to install beyond what your phone already carries and no account to create with us.

What to put in the message depends on how formed the plan is. Fully formed, Lucie, a canal-ring hotel, Friday at nine, two hours, needs exactly that and nothing more. Half formed is just as workable: describe the mood and the constraints, and the reply names two or three of the fifteen who are free at your hour, with a line on how each of them works. Not formed at all is also fine; questions cost nothing and we answer them without turning every reply into a sales pitch.

A few practical notes for the thread. If your hotel is at Schiphol, open with that, because airport timing is arranged rather than assumed. If you are booking a pair or an overnight, earlier is smoother than later, though later has worked plenty of times. And if plans collapse, flights do what flights do, a short message moves the booking once, more than a day before the hour, or cancels it, and the cancellation policy sets out what a cancellation costs at each point, which on more than a day of notice is nothing.

What the thread is for, beyond booking

Plenty of messages are not bookings at all, and they are just as welcome. Ask which woman speaks French or Italian, whether a shower stall is enough for the soapy session, how nuru keeps a hotel bed dry, or whether a pair can reach an airport hotel early in the morning. Ask what the five sessions feel like from the inside. The answers are specific rather than scripted, and nobody will push a booking you did not ask for.

Questions in writing

A question that is not about a booking, or a complaint about one, can also go by e-mail to the address printed at the foot of every page. For anything that is not urgent, the frequently asked questions may answer it before you even write.
