Went with my partner last weekend and honestly, this place is a DREAM. The steam rising off the water as the sun was setting made it look like a fairy tale. Staff were suuuper chill and helpful when we forgot our towels (whoops). Water temp was just right, even when it was freezing out. We stayed in for ages and barely noticed time passing. Only tiny minus: the showers were a bit crowded at 5pm, so maybe go a bit earlier? Otherwise, 10/10.

Hands down the best hot spring I tried in Iceland. I liked that it’s not super fancy, feels more real. Staff is kind and let us know about the little geyser show nearby. My partner and I just floated and watched the clouds for ages. Also, showers are spotless. Tip: don’t forget to shower before you go in, they’re strict about it.

Bring your own flip flops! Lagoon is HOT (in the best way). I was with my girlfriend and we stayed until our fingers got pruney. Couldn’t stop laughing at the steam clouds, felt like we were in a movie. Staff was so friendly, even gave us directions for our next stop. Place gets BUSY after 2pm, so go early if you want peace.

    Visited with friends after a long road trip. Water temperature was SPOT ON, even with snow around. Place was clean and staff smiled a lot. The cafe was fine, but the soup was kinda bland tbh. Changing rooms get busy in the evening and we had to queue for lockers. Still, felt magical overall.

    Nice spot for families. Took my two kids (7 and 11) and they loved the noodles floating around. Changing rooms are clean but a bit cramped. Lagoon itself is fab—loved the natural look, not overdone. We visited at noon and it was pretty chill, but by the time we left (1:30ish), it got packed.
