SaunaScore is computed automatically from each facility's amenities. The more you get — cold plunge, aufguss, spa, and more — the higher the score. Scores update automatically as we update facility information.
Tiers
Four tiers
Every facility listed on GoToSauna receives a SaunaScore based on what it offers. Here's what the four tiers mean.
Basic sauna
The facility has a sauna and basic amenities. Perfect if you just want a simple, relaxing session.
Good sauna
The facility offers more than the basics — usually a shower, drinking water, and one or two extras.
Outstanding sauna
A well-rounded facility with a solid range of amenities. Expect a noticeably better experience here.
Perfect sauna
The very best. These facilities offer almost everything you could want from a sauna experience.
How the score is calculated
Every point counts
Each point is based on specific amenities we have documented for the facility — no guesswork.
Honest and independent
Facts — not opinions
SaunaScore is based on concrete amenities we have documented for each facility — no sponsored rankings or advertising.
Continuously updated
