"I was honestly nervous about the whole ‘no bathing suit’ thing, but it ended up being completely comfortable. You’re covered the entire time between treatments, and the staff makes it feel very normal. After a few minutes, I didn’t think about it at all.”
"Excellent staff and services at the Buckstaff. Great historic property that I go to every time I visit Hot Springs!"
"My sister and I both got the traditional bath packages and they were worth the price! The staff was absolutely wonderful - professional, kind, and courteous. They took their time, explained everything thoroughly, and were attentive to needs and concerns while also allowing for relaxation. I worked with Brenda, LaToya, and Lina. They were all absolutely amazing. Everything was wonderful and I recommend this spot for anyone looking for a bit of pampering."
"This was the perfect birthday gift to myself! It was my first time at a bathhouse, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Maddie was amazing and walked me through every step. Sherry was stellar and went above and beyond with my massage. I would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely return the next time I’m in town. 10/10!"
"I absolutely love this place. Been here twice now. What an experience! The mineral bath, lower back soak, the steam box and it ends with being wrapped in hot towels on your body, cold towel on your head. Then cocooned in a sheet. Both times Bobby took care of me. I walk out feeling amazing."
