Every October, Amsterdam Dance Event fills the city with hundreds of club nights, a conference by day and visitors from every continent. Hotels sell out, clubs run until morning, and the booking line hears from guests at hours that make sense only in festival time. Body to body Amsterdam during ADE works like any other peak week, with a few extra practical points worth knowing before you arrive.
ADE is a peak date on the roster
ADE week sits on the house's list of peak dates. Every booking in those days is confirmed with a deposit of half the total, whether you are new to the house or have booked the same woman for years. The deposit is sent by card, Revolut, Wise or crypto after the office confirms, and cancelling more than a day ahead brings it back whole. The cancellation policy explains the rule and the one exception it allows, a single move of date asked more than twenty-four hours ahead.
Body to body Amsterdam during ADE: choosing your hour
Festival week turns the usual pattern upside down. The busiest request times are late afternoon, when guests wake after a night out, and the hours from four to seven in the morning, when they return from the clubs. The easiest windows are often late morning and mid-evening, before the night starts. If you want a particular woman, name her and a time several days ahead; if you are flexible, send two or three names and ask who is free.
Once she is confirmed, the woman reaches a central address in forty to sixty minutes. The rates do not change at four in the morning: one woman with a single guest is €180 for the hour and €270 for ninety minutes.
After the club: honest advice
A night of dancing leaves most people dehydrated, overheated and short of sleep, and many guests have also been drinking. A body to body session is close contact from start to finish, and the woman may decline to begin if a guest is clearly intoxicated or unwell; if the booking ends for that reason, the fee for the reserved time stays due. If you are coming back from a club, the kindest thing you can do for yourself is shower, drink water, eat something, and book for an hour later than you first thought. Many ADE guests book the session for the afternoon after, when they can actually enjoy it.
Picking a woman for festival week
International crowds make language a good filter. Molly speaks English natively, Jasmin German, Luna Spanish, Laura Italian, Danielle French, and Lucie both French and Dutch. Guests who want a longer, slower session after days of noise often choose ninety minutes or two hours; the guide on how long to book compares the lengths. If you are sharing a hotel with friends from the festival, each person books separately for their own room.
Hotels and apartments in ADE week
Many ADE visitors stay in apartments rather than hotels. For an apartment, send the street, the building entrance, the floor and whether the stairs are steep, and mention anyone else staying there so the woman is not surprised by flatmates in the kitchen. For hotels, give the entrance and leave the room number until she asks for it shortly before arriving. The apartment page covers stairs, bells and shared flats in more detail.
Some ADE guests come for the daytime conference rather than the clubs, and their week looks more like a business trip. For them, the quiet window after the last panel and before the first set, roughly seven to ten in the evening, is the natural slot. A booking then leaves the night free and ends well before the clubs fill. Name the woman and the time in the morning, and adjust in the chat if a meeting runs over.
Paying during the festival
After the deposit, the balance is paid in the room: cash in any major currency, a card, or crypto. Festival-goers who have spent their cash at the bar can simply use a card for the second half, and crypto works just as well at five in the morning.
A wristband gets you into a club; for this house what counts is being twenty-one or over, in festival week as in any other.
