We had already visited the Blue Lagoon on our arrival into Iceland which was an amazing experience. But we absolutely loved Vok Baths. What made it so special I think was not only the 3 different pools at different temperatures but the infinity pool. We were enjoying the gorgeous warm water, on the very edge of the frozen lake, with a glass of wine while it was snowing! It was absolutely magical.
Well organised, staff were welcoming and lovely facilities. If I lived there I would be going every day!!

Incredible thermal baths in the heart of Iceland. All 3 pools vary in temperature and it's fun to jump in the lake to cool off!

Lovely experience so relaxing , after a long drive we made a booking at Vok Baths ,5 seperate thermal pools of varying temperatures a hot soak was in order ,also with a swim up bar with great variety of drinks and local beers it was wonderful, situated on a lake that is 10 deg you can hop out of the pool to have a quick nippy swim in the lake, highly recommend

We visited Vok Baths halfway through our Ring Road Itinerary and the experience was amazing. Very lovely setting with multiple pools of different temperatures and a kid-friendly area which was great since we traveled with a toddler. Right next to the lake so you can jump in to cool off, beautiful setting and very clean
Clean and private showers and nicely set up changing areas. I would definitely go back. Not overly crowded and very relaxing

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

There are 3 different pools, each with a bit warmer than the next. The water levels seemed a bit low to me. The views were nice overlooking the water and mountains. For some reason, the water just felt dirty to me. Note that you do need to bring your own towel and flip flops.

We enjoyed our visit at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. The view over the lake is beautiful from the pools. There is an in pool bar for convenience and everyone is welcome to a cup of tea back in the lobby. The dressing rooms are communal but the shower stalls are private.
We had tasty soup and good sandwiches in the bistro beforehand.

We visited as a family with 2 teenage boys. We spent over 2 hrs in the baths. We really enjoyed the different temperature pools and especially liked the cold dip option in the river. This was a really invigorating experience. We didn't book and there was no problem with accommodating us, the baths were not crowded which was good. We had a lovely relaxing afternoon. The changing facilities were clean and we enjoyed the free tea after our dip.

It was a lovely facility, but not being given a towel king of ruined the experience. If I knew they wouldn’t give me one, I would have brought mine in. Thank god for blow dryers!
