This has made the list of top 10 things I've done in my life. We were there on a stormy day and the lake was very rough. There are 2 hot pools right on the lake but you have to walk to them. Sitting at the edge, watching the fierce lake, was awesome. At some point I went into the lake, very cold but doable in September, then quickly climbed out and back into the hot tub. When we were there it wasn't too crowded and it was around dusk.

This is a lovely place on the banks of the lake. There are 3 pools, the least hot has the walk up bar. The 2 warmer pools float on the lake. The hottest pool, the furthest away is just lovely after a day of sight seeing, and in my case, horse riding. Add a glass of prosecco and it it bliss. Relax, take in the views. When it is time for a cold plunge, just jump in the lake for a swim, unique and fun. Marvellous, it doesn't get a lot better than this.

The place is in a beautiful location, however the packages they offer were not honoured, no herbal tea due to Corona...how is that true when the restaurant is working almost as normal. Biggest issue for me was that the bathrooms were filthy. We stayed there for over 2 hours and not once anyone cleaned the change rooms or the bathrooms. Pity because it is a beautiful place on great location.

O vestiário é mais equipado do que o bath do Lake Myvatn, mas eles permitem a entrada de crianças de todas as idades. Embora os usuários sejam apresentados à uma cartilha de regras, as crianças gritam, pulam, nadam, incomodando os demais. Se voce procura relaxar, este não é o lugar.
The changing room is better equipped than Lake Myvatn's bath, but they allow children of all ages to enter. Although users are introduced to a rule booklet, children scream, jump, swim, bothering others. If you are looking to relax, this is not the place.

Worst part of our two weeks of Iceland. Supposed to get a “free” drink up to a certain price. Ordered a single drink slightly above and expected to pay the difference (which of course I expected). They charged me for the entire drink amount, so essentially if you go over, you pay all, not the part you were over (everyone in my party was under the same assumption as me). We asked and were told that’s the rule. So, nothing free there. Buyer beware. Also, the bath was slippery/dirty/smelly. Definitely not as pleasant as the other baths we did. The cafe was closed as well, so not possible to eat a meal. We left after only an hour whereas I wanted to stay for hours at other baths. Just overall a negative experience, sadly.

The place is beautiful, but we unfortunately had a bad experience with the personnel. There was a misunderstanding with our tickets and included drinks. The personnel was not very welcoming, and handled the situation in a poor way. The whole thing left us with a bad feeling, unfortunately, and I would not come back here.

We were lucky and had great weather when we went. But we LOVED this place, very clean, very funky with a swim up bar. And a lovely little place to eat inside with food made from local farmers . I might move to Egilsstaðir, I love it that much.

Neat place with beautiful views (like everywhere in Iceland!). I thought the baths were supposed to be of different temperatures, but they all felt the same. Locker rooms clean. Drinks served at the swim-up bar were great, especially the drinks from Lemon (local drink store). The hot tea at the end for included with your ticket was a nice touch. Overall, really expensive, more so than many of the other hot baths I visited in Iceland.
Recommended, but pricey!

We visited a tourist attraction as tourists to experience something local. It was assumed we had been there before and that we knew the process. Staff were annoyed when we asked for assistance and explanation of the facility.
The baths were great, we spent several hours there and tried all the different areas.
It was a shame the experience was spoilt by the staffs disinterest, they are after all benefiting by tourists visiting
