Amsterdam, Jun 2026
I took Ike's pregnancy course at House of Balance. It covered theory about pregnancy and delivery plus some practical things and exercises, and it was very useful with a very nice atmosphere. Every class, Ike asked how it was going with everyone, and after the delivery she answered my questions, sent tips and a few addresses for treatments, very helpful during and after. Communication was easy and always accessible, they were on time, and the price felt fair for Amsterdam.

Onno helped us buy our first house outside our home country. He was super helpful and transparent, told us to wait a little longer so my partner could build more tax history, then guided us through every step, from viewing places to saying when a house’s value didn’t look right for the area. He translated things we didn’t understand in Dutch, answered our emails fast, and either he or someone from the office would follow up so we didn’t miss anything. Price felt fair and actually lower than I expected.

Adham did very well. He responded to my call quickly and handled a seemingly difficult lock in a couple of minutes, and he was a very friendly guy. He did a very good job keeping me updated with time, and I was happy with the price, especially since it was the weekend. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to family and friends.
What to know about home services in Amsterdam
Amsterdam housing makes home jobs their own kind of awkward. Canal houses have steep narrow stairs and floors that are rarely square, so a quote that assumes a standard flat is often wrong once someone is on site. If you rent or own in an apartment building, check whether your VvE has to approve the work before it starts. Ask for the price in writing, and ask whether voorrijkosten, the call-out charge, sits on top.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is voorrijkosten and is it normal?
It is the call-out or travel charge, and yes, it is normal. It usually runs somewhere around twenty to sixty euros and is often charged on top of the hourly rate. Ask about it up front, because it turns a cheap-sounding hourly rate into a more expensive short visit.
Which home services in Amsterdam work out of hours?
Locksmiths and electricians are the two you can generally get at night or over a weekend, and both charge a surcharge for it. Most other trades work normal hours and will book you in. If it is an emergency, agree the total on the phone before anyone sets off.
Are prices in Amsterdam quoted with or without BTW?
Check, because it varies. A price quoted to a consumer should already include BTW, and most trades show it that way, but plenty of price lists are still written excluding it. The rate is 21% on most work, though labour on a home more than two years old is taxed at 9%, and so are sports and fitness classes.
How do I check a business in Amsterdam is properly registered?
Ask for the KvK number and look it up in the Chamber of Commerce register, which is free and public. It tells you the business exists, what it is registered to do and how long it has been trading. Anyone who will not give you that number is telling you something useful.
How are businesses ranked here?
On their reviews, and every review is phone-verified, which means we confirm the person actually used the business before it goes live. Nobody can pay to move up the list.
