    A quintessentially Icelandic pool experience. Three large hot tubs of various temperatures, a heated pool with lanes for swimming, three different sized water slides for kids of all sizes and ages, a steam bath, and even a tub of cold water if you like to torture yourself like me. All for around $9 USD as of April 2023. Tourists be aware that you are expected to shower fully nude and thoroughly, and there are no partitions, so expect to be naked around others. This is totally normal for Icelanders and only as awkward as you make it.

    ... nice warm pools, as per previous reviewer, once you close your locker and open it, you can't close it again. there is a sign instructing to have a shower naked before wearing your swimwear and jumping on the pool. locals don't like it when you take a shower wearing some form of skin cover. toilets in the communal area and one cubicle in the shower area. reasonable prices, ample parking even driving a motorhome. you have a mixture of friendly and miserable staff.

    Good local pool at reasonable price. 900 per adult and they rent towels if you don't bring any. Make sure you shower well before you head in. They have a couple jacuzzi pools with different temperatures, pretty cool.

    Lovely pool with a view on the bay. Quite cheap too only 1000 kr. and the communal areas were clean. I went there on a sunny day of a weekend and I had a lane all to myself to swim for over an hour. Another plus is that the locks are free and like in every Icelandic toilet there is a place to change diapers in the men's space (I love that). The sauna is small but really good and you have access to three small pools to relax at different temperatures. Being trans non-binary and foreigner I am getting used to the custom of having to shower completely naked in the men's room, but there is no other option. Non-binary people can ask for the private changing room which is basically a disabled toilet in the lower floor for the gym, but there is no soap or locker and I am not sure how you access the swimming pool from there. Until something changes, like transforming the men's into unisex changing room, I keep on going to the men's hoping noone will comment while staring at my genitals 😂.

    One inside pool and one outside pool, hot baths, steam sauna and dry sauna outside, basically all the things I need. Very good view be the sea is a bonus. It is inexpensive, value for money.

    Small entrance fee you can enjoy hot spring, like normal Iceland people daily life, highly recommended for the experience. Bring your own towel and swimsuit.

    This is my favourite pool in all of Iceland! Because it's an hour or so away from Reykjavik, it's relatively quiet and it has views right across the bay to Snæfellsjökull. There are three hotpots and a geothermal lane pool as well as a splash pool for the three slides outside. If you don't have change for the lockers, reception will lend you the necessary coin.

    Really nice place to go swimming. There is swimming pool, kids pool, water slides, 3 hot tubs (36-38°C, 38-40°C and 41-43°C) and sauna outside and swimming pool and steam bath inside. The water in the pools is comfortably warm even if it's not any particularly warm outside. Price is good (970ISK for adult) but if you need to rent a towel it's 710ISK for each so bring your own towels if you can (unfortunately we didn't have any). There are shared showers but it's not that much of a deal since the changing rooms are separated for men and women of course :) lockers are big enough and you don't need any extra money or coins for them (you will get the key before you enter).

    Great value. Visited Borgarnes in winter from the US and enjoyed access to the outdoor hot tubs, sauna, and pools. Made for a wonderful winter day.

    It was a very fun place to go for a swim!

  • 5/5 Michael P. 1 year ago on Google
    Only used the showers here after camping at the Borgarnes campground. The showers had good water pressure and were nice and warm.

  • 3/5 María Rán F. 1 year ago on Google
    This swimming pool is ok, the changing rooms are pretty crammed, but the pool itself is good, there is an inside pool and some hot tubs as well

  • 2/5 Jón V. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of diffrent temperature hot tubs. The building is very outdated and the steambath was closed. Showers in changing rooms way too hot. Staff was friendly and nice.

    The most beautiful small town in Iceland

  • 5/5 Anastasia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolute pleasure to soak in these hot pots under a heavy rain ! They also have an excellent hammam, a sauna and toboggans that are fun for adults who never grew up :)

    No photos will adequately capture this experience. Large and small blue ice bergs drift and topple over in a place truly unique, even by Iceland's standards of majestic geographic features. Our park ranger tour guide (free walking tours offered near the boat admission office) was so enthusiastic to share her knowledge of the surrounding geography and how it has shifted in recent and not so recent years. Ask them about James Bond filming. All the guides/rangers were super friendly.
