Super location - Great experience! The location is superb. New and elegant structure, beautiful and well organized changing rooms. Three artificial pools of geothermal water at three different temperatures immersed in a natural lake. The view is impressive and the experience of diving into the lake (temperature of 8 ° in August) is something incredible. One of the most beautiful spas I have visited.

Excellent fun. - A lovely and modern Geothermal Bathing complex with various hot pools and an opportunity to dive directly into the adjacent lake which is cold but not too cold. Recommended.

My favorite - Our favorite Better than the blue lagoon which is a cash factory And that the Forest spa, whose view is veiled Here, 3 pools with a real view of the lake in which it is inserted Of the world but space to circulate Very clean, shower and dressing room without private cabin Here, we are not shocked by nudity 46€, admission is not given But it's everywhere the same rate to pay Hot spot of reykjaladur, if we are looking for free

Great day - Incredible experience. We decided to go here instead of the Blue Lagoon because we heard several unpleasant things from the locals about it. Loved being able toto go from the hot baths to the freezing lake! That is optional of course but amazing! Also loved being able to stay as long as we wanted. The tour offered by our cruise ship was very expensive and only allowed an hour at the baths. Be sure to book a taxi service ahead of time if you are going from the cruise port. The Vok baths website has info on the taxis.

Crowded/not very relaxing but nice pools - The pools themselves were really nice and the temperatures were good. Smoothies at the walk up bar were also good! That said, not very relaxing because there were a bunch of children running around screaming and cannonballing into the lake and the lower pools, just being overall disruptive. I probably would go to a different place if I ever came back to Iceland to ensure I could actually relax and enjoy it.

Public bath / public pool environment - Seemed enjoyable for most and a thrill for first timers to Iceland. Social and touristy in place of relaxing or meditative. Lots of children. Weak steam room. Excessive charges to rent a towel.

Under-whelming, shabby, expensive - The experience failed to live up to the expectations. I felt like I was being ripped off throughout the whole thing. Welcomed rather coldly and that is where the lovely spa image started to fade. Compared to other pools and lagoons Vök is a little shabby with rotten wood, peeling paint, and loose screws. The complimentary tea bar had a very sad selection as well. I'm a little sad and bitter I paid all this money for the admission, because it's not cheap.

Showering naked - As a local Icelander I never enter a public bath or a pool without showering naked and washing myself with soap. This is mandatory and of course a basic hygiene process. Even though Wök bath are stylish the sight of number of tourists entering the baths without taking their swimwear of while showering meant I lost my appetite for Wök baths for good.

Overpriced - The best thing about the bath was the shower, the best thing about the restaurant was the fries. Poor hygiene. Not recommended
