Nice bath. You can take drinks from the bar into the water and also your mobile phone. We went here because the Blue Lagoon is supposed to be so crowded and it's also half the price. Water temperature was comfortable. There was shampoo and shower gel in the showers. The bathroom will be enlarged even further.

Incredible scenery, with the pouring rain you sit in the bathroom with a beer from the bar, which is right in the pool. There is enough space and you can choose between different pools. However, the price is located in the Nobelberwich. Absolute must for every Iceland traveler!!!!!

Super good if you have rented a car and the information is always played automatically. Interesting information.

Super nice lagoon! Totally relaxing and not as crowded as the blue Lagoon.

Highly Recommended! Very informative, easy to use.
