How does a no-show policy work for long treatments in a spa?
A Dutch spa may charge a no-show fee for long treatments provided the policy is clearly shown upfront. The Consumentenbond cites 25 percent of the treatment price as a common amount, especially for treatments over 60 minutes or for new clients. CelerBook displays the no-show policy on every online booking and in the confirmation email. Clients pay in the spa, so the fee is invoiced afterwards. No contract.
