Wonderful experience - We felt very relaxed after leaving this natural spa. You can walk in the cold around the pool to get the hot and cold therapeutic effect and we looked more hydrated and young at the end. The locker rooms were a warm space to shower and hold our dry clothes. We had a few snacks at the end of our stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful:)

The Best Secret Lagoon! - The Secret Lagoon was an absolutely incredible experience! The lagoon was off the main roadway and perfectly placed in a secure and private location. The views from the lagoon were breathtaking. The facilities were well kept, clean, and easily accessible for all needs. Additionally, there was plenty of space in the lagoon to move about and it never felt overcrowded or uncomfortable. Highly recommend this secret place!

Evocative and ancient geothermal pool - Charming and charming geothermal pool, the oldest in Iceland. Immersed in a beautiful landscape is a must-see. It is open until 8pm and after a busy day exploring the wonders of Iceland it was really pleasant and relaxing to spend a few hours in the warm waters of this natural pool. The price is 24 euros. Very well organized changing rooms and communal showers.

Great place - Nice out of the way lagoon. Facilities were very clean and staff were welcoming. Nice alternative to fancy big spas. Really enjoyed more rustic environment on the Golden Circle.

Save Your Money. - The long line of tour busses at this pool tells me that this is no longer a secret. People were waiting to get in even though it was past opening time. When we got our turn, people were almost shoulder to shoulder. Needless to say we didn’t stay as long as we wanted to.

Disappointing tourist trap - Disappointed. We went out there hoping to find an authentic place with few people ("secret"). But there were many people. Several sat with drinks in the water. Uro. Noisy. It seemed like a tourist trap. You call it "secret," but you get something completely different.
