Reviews of Float House Victoria (Spa)

Aileen O

Have always wanted to try this relaxing experience, and was not disappointed! Friendly staff and peaceful surroundings made us comfortable as a my wife and I enjoyed a quality message and a wonderful float. Dealing with chronic back/shoulder pain on a daily basis, as well as arthritis and joint pain. This unique experience provided faster and more complex healing than I could provide myself, with home remedies, and for a reasonable price.. and being able to meditate in a silent, completely dark deprivation tub was amazing! I would definitely treat myself again in the near future.

I've always wanted to go for a float and I'm glad I went to Float House! It's a very clean and modern facility. The staff walk you through what to expect in advance. After a quick shower, you enter the tank, close the lid, and ... drift away! Afterwards, you can enjoy some tea while you process your experience.

Owen Smith

Awesome experience! Friendly staff, facilities are clean and stylish. Floating was rad.

Adam Silbernagel

Pure, streamlined, and tasteful tank experience. A superb environment for deep relaxation. Float House covers all the details to ensure your float is a memorable experience.

Panda Russ

Been to Float House four times now and love it! It's a very calm and relaxing atmosphere from when you first step foot inside the building and all the way through to the pod. I highly suggest this for anyone who goes to a massage therapist as you'll feel better and even calmer when you walk out after your Float.

Bella's Mom

Interesting experience. Always wanted to try a sensory deprivation tank and it delivered. Air temperature and solution temperature inside the pod are exactly the same so it's really difficult to tell when you're floating where the liquid ends and the air begins. It can be completely dark with no sound, music, or music and lights. I recommend anybody give it a try at least once.

J B

It's so Zen and peaceful

Richard Normand

Amazing! Lovely staff

Sean Wilman

Best impressions on a first float.

Erin Anderson

Really great place to try out an isolation tank. Informative and kind staff. The rooms and tanks themselves are very nice and well maintained. Overall a very relaxing experience.

Sean Haylow

First float and we will go back. Service was excellent, place was modern and super clean.

Kevin Morin

It was great definitely not for everyone though especially the sea sick..

Ngan Huynh

First time visiting this site, looking for a new life of living on the water. Very informative and detailed information, thank you for making this an easy view.

stephen kagan

Great experience, I'll be back for more

Wesley Jobe

I had my first visit to Float on Saturday. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My visit included a pod treatment and massage from Krystal. I highly recommend a visit to Float. I've already booked my next massage. ????????????

Katrina Cranswick

Very cool experience! This is a must try, especially if you've never floated in the Dead Sea. The buoyancy feeling is the same, however, Float House removes all distractions putting the body and mind in a state of total relaxation. So stop wasting time reading this and go float yourself!

Richard M. Allouche

Friendliness and guest service felt genuine. Very clean and the facilities are top notch.

Joel Williamson

This is something totally brand-new and unique to Victoria... where else can you go to "Experience Nothing"? My first float was 90 minutes, and I know everyone has a different experience, but it was incredible. For the first time I was actually able to completely turn off my brain and just allow the float. It was amazing. After getting out and walking around, I felt like I'd just gone to a spa for the day. I was so relaxed and it totally recharged my creative batteries. Definitely recommend this place to try out~!

Andrée Noye

I love floating here so much. Everything in incredibly clean and relaxing. The staff are BEYOND sweet. Would highly recommend if you are look for a nice easy way to wind down and relax in Victoria.

Scott Lowery

Amazing experience as always! Great massage, great staff, and relaxing float! Had my first float exactly a year ago and have loved it ever since! Thanks for another lovely day!

Richard Lane

Nice establishment, very clean and inviting. Floating definitely takes you to a different place that is beyond relaxing for the body, mind, and soul. I highly recommend; you have to experience not just for the sake of a 'bucket list' sort of activity because it's more rewarding than what it seems at face value. If you have any questions, the staff are very personable and courteous to your every need. I'm just glad that there's a float spa in Victoria now and word needs to spread among the citizens in town.

Adrian Uddhava

Very relaxing! Calm, friendly, clean environment. Try it!

Geneviève Nevin

Clean facilities and helpful friendly staff! Give it a try!

Clinton Thomas

Floating can be hard! ???? I have had super zen moments and others when my brain hamster's wheel would not stop. Facilities are cleaned, I had a full membership that allowed me some kombucha and they were out every.single.time. But everything else was nice. A lot of different staff, and it's been hit & miss (from outstanding to "do you even care").

Erica Fritch

Very clean. Interesting but I found I have enough quiet and solitude. Not something I'd do again.

David Procyshyn

Good service, friendly supportive staff, float room always clean.

J K

Wow - had my first float the other day and it was an extremely cool experience! Very relaxing and the staff do a great job orienting you to the facility and making you comfy. Bought a membership and will visit regularly!

Steve Watson

Amazing float, super relaxing atmosphere and the best staff!

Espresso Salad

It's nice to see that so many people had great experiences at this location that's just a few blocks from my home. I bought a 3-pack and I went just twice because each time I went, my relaxation was impacted by light-levels. On the first instance the door wasn't fully closed and light entered from around the crack. For 30 mins I was wondering "is this total darkness, or is it going to get darker?" On the 2nd instance, after about 20 mins, I realized a light was still on in the room... and left the tub to flip a switch. I was told it would dim automatically but something wasn't right. Each time I left the tub, the motion-sensor activated and I had to wait for the timer to dim the lights. The facilities were clean and well-kept but the poor attention to room set-up for a new client made me feel like I was just a number. The post-soak lounge area had a relaxing atmosphere and I enjoyed a tasty tea on my 1st visit, on the 2nd visit I just gave up and left after a lengthy wait to talk to the busy attendant.

Ariane Telishewsky

Interesting experience for sure. Would definitely like to try it again. Very relaxing but can be difficult to get into that mindset if you focus on it too much. Lay back and relax.

Martin “Me” Zako

Interesting little place

Tiffany Jacobson

Great relaxing experience!!

Chloë Farr

i thought this would be a nice gift package for a couple of hard studying students! Several things went sideways right away though..when i got this for my son and his girlfriend. Mainly a really intense awkward undercurrent between the two staff guys who seemed to be in a relationship and the one treated my son with angry indifference the whole time ..and was not told what to do with the vaseline so he spent his experience in superbad pain from many skin abraisions! The massage was super great for both thier treatments but because of the uncomfortable rude ambiance and lack of better service..such as getting a towel! We are certainly never going to be going back there.

Michelle Duval

I would sum it up as losing the feeling of being physically connected and grounded but at the same time being opened up to different sensations of your being and an awareness almost spiritual in a way. Very calm and relaxing, a way of letting go of the every dayness of the hectic pace of living!

Dwayne Green

Goodness I love this place. I thought I would be claustrophobic but certainly was not! The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. The tanks themselves are comfortably sized and the float itself was a very new and therapeutic experience. There was no rush for me to leave afterward - in fact, they encourage you to take your time to enjoy the post-float feeling.

Adam Gagne

Great spot for a float.

Ash Fuhr

Living with pain this has become an essential part of my therapy regimen. Come experience nothing and feel the stress from our non stop world leave your body. A great way to reset your nervous system

Séverin Beauvais

I've been floating here 1-2+ times /month for over 5 years. Wonderful owners and staff. If you haven't tried floating, I couldn't recommend trying this enough. The place is always spotless clean, and quiet. They have tea, and kombucha for you before, and/or, after your float. They also have massage therapist's that you can pair with a float.

Eden DaSilva

Easy check in, friendly staff, clean and private rooms, great equipment.

Joanne Kakewash

Nice staff but two of us went my experience was good water was warm and lights shut off etc but the person I brought had really cold water, they had to keep trying to flip around to stay warm and her outside light never shut off. A but disappointing for the price we paid and her to not have had the real proper experience.

Rochelle Roberts

I did the July Float challenge and really enjoyed it. I really appreciated the challenge as my first time wasn't great - I couldn't relax my neck! But #2 & 3 were fantastic. Meditation on steroids (that's the point right? :) ) Will definitely be back for more.

Dustin Downs

If you've never experienced a sensory deprivation, or "float" tank, and have been curious to try it or even don't know what one is, Float House will be an amazing experience. Helpful staff and an incredible facility will leave you wanting to come back as soon as possible. As they say on their website, "give yourself the gift of nothing".

Thomas Richards

Chill environment, super relaxing. I like that it's close to home and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend. The membership is definitely worthwhile.

Sarah Webb

Such a fun experience. The facility is clean, quiet and all around enjoyable. There is a small space to sit and relax and enjoy a cup of tea post float. They provide you with towels, shampoo and soap. It is unfortunate pricing and memberships are not more affordable. I am happy I tried the experience once but cost to value ratio just doesn’t add up for me.

Mason Wall

I love floating here! I just recently bought a membership :) Does that mean a get a free glass of kombucha each float? I wish the relaxation area was a bit more secluded like the gastown location but other than that a very transformative experience!

Scott Roy

It was a beautiful experience! Float House has exceeded my highest expectations. Big thanks to Erik and team. Will definitely come back!

Carly W

This was my first time floating and i absolutely loved it. It was so relaxing and soothing. I definitely enjoyed it immensely.

Jodi Mucha

Awesome place to relax your mind, soul and body

土萠ほたる

I was visiting from Toronto, Ontario and it was recommended that I try the Float House Victoria. It was my first time and definitely not my last as it was an amazing experience. If you are able to lay and relax and just feel nothing for the time period allotted it helps with complete focus afterwards. As an athlete and fitness enthusiast I appreciated this hour to just get back into routine.

Lainey E

Great atmosphere, didn't hear any noise during the float. Friendly staff.

Quill Scribbles

Love the floats. Great decor and feel. Very calm

Margaret Bigelow

Huge shout out to Dusty Townsend, blown away by the experience highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Very grounding and meditative experience. Thank you guys we will certainly be back <3

Dallas K.A.

Great experience!

Jordan J. Caron

My favourite place to get grounded and catch up on my sleep. Service is amazing and it’s always clean and inviting.

Peter Wellband

For me its the best way to reset stress and fully immerse myself in relaxation and taking the weight off my body. Literally. I think everyone should try!

NomadEx Bike Cargo

I love my monthly floats; helps with inflammation and peace of mind/calmness. I have told many friends about the benefits of floating.

Manny Be

Staff was very helpful and kind, the place was very clean, seemed like everything I needed was on hand! Practicing mindfulness in the pod was next level chill. I highly recommend it if your looking for some truly relaxing quiet time.

Heather N

Really enjoyed going for a Float! The pod is quite large and you can have the light on if you wish - I was worried I'd get claustrophobic or anxious but I didnt. I'd highly recommend trying it out.

Joe Collins

I just wanted to leave a review for an experience that is a bit hard to put into words. Being a busy father, it just seems that there's always something going on, a project to complete, work demands etc. So with this in mind the promise to turn off the outside world for a hour or more seemed too good to be true. This was to be my first float and I convinced a couple of dads to try it out together. I called ahead and was informed that we just need to bring ourselves and everything else would be taken care of. The staff there gave us a short introduction and some tips for floating, then we each went to our own spacious room with it's own tank and what I can only describe as a cleaning/filtration pod. A quick shower and into the tank. I won't try and describe the actual experience because I'm sure it differs for everyone. What I will say is that after our first experience we each walked out of there purchasing more floats for ourselves and our spouses. A few other friends have also gone there since. From someone who is constantly plugged-in to electronic distractions this time alone is quite a blessing. I look forward to my next float. I am glad that I gave it a try.

Eric Faust

Relaxing and amzong.

Marky P-H

Great experience. Shima was so helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Very relaxing and healing-- transcendental!

Nathan Comstock

A car covered in a Float House Victoria vehicle wrap keeps parking in the handicap parking stall without any sort of pass at my apartment building, pretty douchey

Ilya T

What an incredible experience,right from the front entrance with a "living wall" to the actual float This was hugely relaxing and rejuvenating. As others have said, the experience was even better with each subsequent float; as I adjusted to the completley calm and quiet environment I have a mild disability and could fairly easily get into and out of the tub. Overall, highly recommended.

James Walker

Experience worth having. Pros: The tank was extremely relaxing and it helped with some back problems I have been experiencing. My hair and skin felt wonderful afterwards! Some mild hallucinations. Cons: No welcome and no goodbye, staff must be too busy floating! When I got out of the tank and back into the main common area there was an awful smell! Completely put me off and I couldn't wait to get out of there! Suggestions: Put some hooks in the float rooms to hang clothing.

Brayden Klein

Not knowing what to expect it was an interesting first experience. The attending staff gave a thorough walk-through for me as a newbie and made sure I was all set before my time started. It was clean (I was in pod 5) and had a calming atmosphere. Glad there was a hair dryer in the front washroom and that they had a station for water, tea, and prep items for the float (Q-tips, petroleum jelly to protect scratches, and wax ear plugs). The changing colour lights in the pod were fun but I was glad to have the option for lights off, I'm not sure if music would have changed up the experience, but would be interested in testing it out (possible option to bring your own music). It took a while to settle but I also found it fun to bounce around a bit. One suggestion I have to newbies is reminding your body to relax without engaging any muscles. Learn to float and relax!

JB Nuska

Just had a great experience at The Float House. Super clean facilities, and the guy who helped me was great. Very peaceful, I look forward to my next floats.

Cats Eyes

Wonderful place to relax and ponder life

Hugh Kruzel

Floating rules!

Cricket Hartley

I really have enjoyed the experience and sensation, or sensationlessness, and the staff is super friendly and attentive, the facilities are clean and zen. Really the only reason I have 4 instead of 5 stars- and it's not the fault of this specific location, but just a downside to the "float industry" as it were is the steep pricing. It would be nice to see this as a more accessible therapy service, I've done it twice now and though I've found it rejuvenating and tranquil and all the things they say, didnt feel I was getting back quite what I was putting in. Granted, the monthly membership isnt bad if you have a credit card- which I do not, but it's an expensive first time and, again, not the fault of this particular branch, just seems to be the average for float tanks

Crystal Higman

Left feeling very relaxed. Give it a try if you’re curious!

Crudele Nicholas

Beautiful and exceptionally clean spa with lovely staff.

Rick Furtado

Love the float house, I totally recommend trying this at least once.

Marshall Fehr

Big fan of float house Victoria and excited for the new location opening up on the westshore late 2018. This float centre runs a super clean and well maintained facility. Super relaxing and I enjoy have a tea afterwards.

Terry Krenbrink

Unload a whole mountain of stress in two hours or less.

V.I. Powerboat

Absolutely loved it and friendly staff 10/10 would go again vibe is on

Alexandra A

Serenity now! ;) Love the facilities, relaxed, calming. Friendly helpful staff. Very relaxing experience.

Michael G. Khmelnitsky

Thoroughly enjoyed my first float here! Being a professional squash player, recovery is an important part of my training and I normally have either Epsom salt baths or ice baths. However floating gave me the opportunity to physically recovery but also mentally recover due to ease of meditation/relaxation in there. I found the staff and environment very friendly and relaxed and I would certainly recommend checking it out! I can't wait to start doing it more regularly back in the UK!

Practical Spiritualism

It took me 3 sessions to really get into this and I’m sure glad I did. Each time I went I was so relaxed after, even after the floats I did where I was restless during it. I honestly didn’t think I could lay there in the water for 90 minutes, but last time I fell asleep! This has been so good for my mindfulness practice and my mental health. They have a lovely area to lounge in after your float and enjoy some tea. I really look forward to my monthly float, it grounds me and helps me know myself better and listen to my body and mind, and where my place is in this world but also a the place where I am happy and look after myself first.

Alice Loring

Was a great relaxing time. Wish there was music in the pods, would have been more of a zenful experience. The senses in the store from was too much. Was glad that the staff were so accomdating about turning off their defuser. Would love to go again and again!

Valeriia Dikh

Very clean beautiful facilities. Erik was was extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks I had an outstanding float.

michele howey

Very neat , a must try

Jim Naguib (Hawklan)

this is the love business . come back to the essential self . the tank will TAKE u there. nice staff. clean. spend the money . done and done . WOKE AF but you scared ? dont be

Roro Duff

Great relaxing experience

Roger M

The service was great and I am not giving the review for the experience with them as they were very nice. My review is for the actual experience of floating in the pod. I was so beyond bored lol It was, for me, a very expensive and boring bath. I only made it half way through the 90 minute session. If you enjoy quiet meditation without moving, you will like this. I'm too restless so this experience was a bit lost on me.

Jonathan Burrows

Quite disappointing facility and left feeling gross. Cleanliness, when you're sharing a bath with hundreds of other people should be a top priority, here it is not. The staff were friendly, hence 2 stars, but the showers always seem to be out of warm water. My cleanliness gripe is related to all 3 of my floats in their July sale. There was hair stuck to the inside of the tub on my first float, kinda gross but not the end of the world, on my next float several days later I was in the same room, and the same hair was exactly in the same place as the first time. The tub itself had not been cleaned for days. On that second float there were small rocks/sand in the bottom of the tub too, so people either arent showering before, or they're tracking debris in because the floors aren't cleaned. I removed the hair from the tub on my second visit. I went back for a third float, the room was cool, water was noticeably cooler than previous floats, there were still wet footprints on the floor from the previous floater, and of course, hair inside the tub. If you can get past the fact that they don't clean regularly or well, it can be a relaxing experience. They offered me an after float for free because of the mess when I talked to them about it on the 3rd float, thanks but no thanks!

Kelly Gillespie

Ocean was a gracious host. The place had a soothing atmosphere. The experience was a 10.

Jamie Graham

Josh was super welcoming and made my experience very comfortable. My most recent float at Floathouse was in 2014 and after living and floating in several other cities I can confidently say that Floathouse has been the best experience. The water and air temperature was perfect during the float. Thanks y'all

Brendan Burke

always very lovely and relaxing

Michael Nemec

What could be more relaxing! (nothing. Nothing could be more relaxing.)

Brian Haines

Excellent experience, owner, manager, staff, facility. ????????????????????????????????

Phil Rossner

I just like to pamper myself. Float House time is all about you!

Leon Beauvais aka redhalo

So relaxing

Shannon Davey

Friendly staff, a great facility.

Heather Leedham

I felt really cash.

Paul Martin

I have enjoyed my flotation/sensory deprivation session very much. If you suffer from depression, stress, or anxiety, there's really nothing like floating in a pool of Epsom salts, in a total black void. The facility is very clean and comfortable. The pods are fairly large (but, if you are taller than six feet, expect to have your toes, arms, or head touch the edges of the pod every once in a while). My only two reasons for leaving four (rather five) stars are as follows: * The system for booking requires one to either call in or download a third-party app. * Unlike at the Westshore location, the button that is supposed to turn the ambient music in the pod on and off doesn't really do anything. * The water temperature could be a little warmer.

Darrell Fraser

The experience was so surreal in a positive way. I look forward to my next experience. Would recommend this to anyone for a good zen session and stress relief.

Lara B

Awesome! Relaxing and nice clean facility

Morgana

Amazing float experience and a very kind staff.

Jennifer Dempsey

So relaxing and it smelled amazing, felt like entering a warm tropical jungle paradise

jeremy hudson

The Float house and I have a great relationship even though it's been a few years since my last float. I had a semi alright float. I've had better, but I could relax and shut my mind down for 90mins thank you. I will be back, but this time I won't wait so long until we float again.

Jessica Murty

This was my first float. My friend and I were treated with respect. Everything was clean and tidy. Instructions were clear. I felt totally relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Edit: The temperatures in both tanks were perfect. I recently learned how important that is.

roxanne fox

Everyone's got to try this!

Joey Mercer

Float house was clean and well stocked. Staff was helpful. Experience was next level fabulous. I’m recovering from MVA and PTSD and this was as good as any massage or other modality I’ve used to relax. Difference is. I still feel better 5 days later!

K G

During my float I was able to achieve pain free bliss, even though there was a disruption when the cleaning cycle began. After my float the team checked in and added a free float to my account, great service!

Krista

I'm an avid floater and have done so in several cities in both the U.S. and Canada. I have to say, Float House Victoria is the nicest float space I've ever experienced. The entrance area is really welcoming with the green wall and the rooms are spacious. The entire place is immaculately clean too. Service is very friendly and strives to make your experience as relaxing as possible. Thanks!

Alexandria Smith

The lady was kind and courteous and the experience was amazing :)

josh green

My first sensory deprivation experience was here at float house in Victoria and it was really fantastic. I went in hoping take advantage of the space to think creatively and meditate. The clean and friendly environment provided an environment for both. I already have another two floats booked!

Ethan Concepcion

The staff, the experience, and the in house offers make it really hard to not want to share the information about this place! It was am amazing experience and I look forward to treating myself again by going back.

Carman Klein

The facility is immaculate in its ambience, cleanliness, and comfortable stylings. Feels like a real high end spa and there is a lot of care and investments obviously made to keep it at that high standard. The staff member was professional without being stiff or phony. The tank was very warm and delightful to relax in. I felt healed in multiple ways after my session! Fantastic experience.

Melinda Budgell

So relaxing!

adriash44

Sensory deprivation is an amazing experience. Better than meditations. I always feel fantastic after a session!

Jeff Coffey

What an exciting experience! I have to go again!

Arnette Huzinga

Such a relaxing experience, 9 months pregnant and i felt so recharged after. 10/10 recommended.

M. Witt

From the moment you walk in the door you know this is a place of peace and relaxation. The colours, the furnishings - even the light scent in the air - make this the most tranquil space I've ever been in. And this is before getting into the tank and becoming thoroughly blissed out. Highly recommend.

Tom Daly

I have a standing float date every week. I love the 90 minutes alone with myself and when I emerge, all is good with the world. Every float seems a little better than the last. A wonderful experience.

Whitney

Service is great Facilities are clean It’s a beautiful and nourishing environment

J Harsell

Pretty interesting experience. Got a good deal on a float ($35) so I was happy with the service, but if I paid original price I probably wouldn't have been as satisfied with the experience. The float itself was very relaxing, the time flew by. The instructions were explained which made the steps easy. I would do this again if it wasn't so expensive.

Jim Wilson

Had my first float session a few days ago. The experience was something else, and it's absolutely worth trying.

Christopher Buchholz

If you need to unwind, you need to go here. So GOOD! (Maybe not if you're claustrophobic)

Sammy Wicklow

Definitely a unique experience. I'd recommend trying it once at least

Gary Miles

I love it!! Victoria Float House is clean and super friendly. This is a wonderful way to take care of yourself!

Kelsey Harris

Super clean facility, great staff. Will return

Renay Maurice

The overall experience of the float is always amazing. The customer service aspect is what made my visit so special, the associate really took time to engage and welcome me back to float house after being away for so long.

Emily Rogers

The staff here are GREAT! Float house offers a beginning to end, calming experience.

Alex Mcleod

Always dig the float house no matter the location, the water was a bit salty though:(

Fred L. Johnson

I've always had exceptional experiences here! The staff, the facility, the ambiance and cleanliness are all so incredibly top notch

Owen

Clean, friendly. Great place to float.

colleen johnson

Floating helps with my back & neck pain, & keeps my stress under control. I have a membership at Floathouse.

Angie Hamilton

Super nice, clean, modern, great massage by Ken.

Korbyn Forsman

Tranquil atmosphere, I always leave rejuvenated and relaxed!

Mike Wood

Absolutely lovely experience here! Very friendly staff, clean premises, and surprisingly easy to find street parking despite it being in town. I think the individual rooms could have slightly better sound insulation, just to insure complete silence throughout the float experience, but it's a minor concern overall. I plan on going back soon! :)

malcolm Clarkson

Completely tranquil, absolutely relaxing, like floating in space.

Lee Maddix

Will be back for a warm up this winter

Leah P

Love going here. Staff are always courteous and efficient.

Brandy McMaster

I've floated here many times in the past and would just like to add to the chorus of 5 star reviews. The owner does an exceptional job of taking care of every last detail and really works to earn your loyalty as a customer :)
