I really enjoyed the place, warm welcome, and the staff was super friendly. There were people of all ages, from middle-aged to older, and honestly, I really appreciated it. I was just passing through and wanted to try a sauna in Brussels. Diego, at the bar, made me feel especially welcome, and I had a great time. I highly recommend this place!

Went to Macho Sauna in Brussels and honestly had a really good time. The place is super clean (like, actually spotless), and the staff were all really nice. Diego at the bar was super chill and welcoming, loved his energy. There was a cool mix of people around 8PM, all kinds of backgrounds and ages, mostly 20s to 40s. The jacuzzi’s big, saunas are great, and the bar’s got everything you need, even food 🙂 Chill vibe, nice people, def coming back.

Now that there is a response from the owner, public opinion, feel free to make your judgment regarding this venue and their approach to feedback, as their reply is a perfect example of how they manage the business. 🤷🏻‍♂️The one-star review is not because it’s a bad place. The site is fine, and you will have fun playing with other men in a nice setting.The one star goes because this facility has made a basic human right a price (providing water consumption free). They charge 2.50 € per glass of water, and they even have turned tap water in the restrooms “hot only” to force customers to purchase water.This is a serious matter because people in a sauna are proclive to dehydration and the denial of access to tap water is a violation to the Water Framework Directive” (WFD), Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy.

the place is not well designed , the lockers are there not for functionality ,but for you to put everything inside .you can be assaulted by people on a high , staff play the game " we are not available , and just let it go " if you complaint and try to find a staff member on the bar , they will ignore the shouting and screaming and hide in the back room .also , the photo attached is something that comes out of the human body and should be going into the sewage system , but the place is clean and you can find it in the locker room.* ps. why do you keep removing negative reviews where it is a real reflection of your establishment?

Not fit for purpose, the flooring is always wet , the hygiene station is almost a punishment with little light.The sauna has people sitting on the wood bare , sweating on the wood and with slippers!The temperature is not warm in the steam room , sauna or the upper floors. Showers are almost always cold.The music is 2000 club , and it does not help.Slippers at 4 euros , entrance at 34 euros , off coarse no one will buy slippers!Hygiene kit at 18 euros ! And you are suppose to get clean in 2x2 foot unlit, cold water area where you cannot even disinfectant!Tvs were not showing anything, now Ariana grande with a different music in the background.What a waste or time, effort! Eww and yuck !

This sauna was very clean and good. I visited Friday evening and I had lots of fun with handsome guys. Some of them told me that Sundays are the busiest. There are some problems with the building but it's not a big deal. The entrance price is relatively high.

I visited Macho Sauna in Brussels yesterday, and overall, it was a great experience. The crowd around 8 PM was a mix of about 15 guys in their 20s to 40s, including white, Middle Eastern, and a couple of Asian individuals. The vibe was relaxed and friendly, with a few older men around who were respectful and admiring. Despite some recent reviews mentioning rude staff, I didn’t experience that—everyone, from the front desk to the cleaning crew, was friendly and welcoming. The facilities were immaculately clean, and I was impressed by the cleaning staff actively working to perfect the glass doors inside the sauna, which really highlighted their attention to detail and commitment to maintaining a spotless environment.Macho Sauna is more of a social scene than a purely therapeutic space, but if you're looking to meet new people in a clean, comfortable environment, it’s a solid choice. The atmosphere was relaxed, with well-maintained steam rooms, private areas, and a great overall vibe. If you're looking for a place in Brussels with excellent cleanliness, a diverse crowd, and friendly staff, Macho Sauna is definitely worth a visit.

I find it really disappointing that you suddenly charge 35€ for the entrance, only because there is La Démence weekend in the city. Hence I've spent more than 4 hrs in almost empty venue. It's more busy in a regular weekend. I find raising the entry fee by 6€ a robbery 😬

In 12 years of coming I never had a complaint that I felt was important enough to share it. But this time it felt unnecessarily petty that you have replaced all water taps in the facility for warm water to force customers to buy tap water for €2.50. This is not my idea of how to make business, and I will not be spending on drinks at all anymore. You can't do this.

29 euros for entrance and no filtered free water. The most expensive sauna in Europe even in Paris with big swimming pool and big lounges to rest is only 20 euros. One small glass of water is one euro, one bottle is about 6 euros. No swimming pool. The floors are wet and caused your soles itchy. In Amsterdam 24 euros with free drinking water fountain and also one drink of any choice is included in the price.
