Official pages rechecked 2 November 2026. Prices and policies are dated observations; unresolved details and booking-specific conditions are qualified below.
Krauma is a geothermal bathing and spa venue at Deildartunguhver near Reykholt in West Iceland. It has five warm baths and one cold bath, with indoor relaxation and sauna facilities. Use the spa's cooled bathing pools; the nearby natural hot-spring source is much hotter and is not a place to enter the water.
Entry and rental costs
| Published age/rate | ISK |
|---|---|
| Adults, seventeen and older | 7,900 |
| Teens, thirteen to sixteen | 4,160 |
| Children, zero to twelve | 500 |
| Seniors 67+ | 5,790 |
| Eligible disabled visitors | 5,790 |
| Towel rental | 1,400 |
| Swimwear rental | 1,400 |
| Bathrobe rental | 1,800 |
These are the current English site's published figures. Rentals are separate cost items rather than assumed basic-entry inclusions. Two adults with one ten-year-old total ISK 16,300 before rentals; our arithmetic illustrates the different age bands. Confirm the final quote and any required concession identification before paying.
The Icelandic and English pages show different long-term pass offers/prices. We do not combine those into one definitive pass list. If considering repeat visits, ask which pass applies rather than using a translated page's old figure.
Facilities and water
The English homepage lists warm-pool temperatures of 37-41 C and the cold plunge at 5-10 C. The dedicated baths page instead gives 37-42 C, while the groups page gives 37-43 C and 5-6 C for the cold bath. These are inconsistent operator descriptions, not a single verified temperature for every pool. The source spring produces approximately 100 C water; that is the source temperature, not the bath temperature. The Icelandic homepage describes cooling through heat exchange. A separate geothermal-baths detail page still describes mixing with cold water from Raudsgil. The site therefore does not provide a consistent account of cooling technology; we do not resolve that disagreement by guessing. Both descriptions refer to cooled bathing water, not entering the boiling source.
Lockers are described for individual guests. The site also lists a relaxation room with seating, quiet music and a fireplace, plus sauna/infrared/steam facilities. These are separate environments, so check the day's available facilities and follow staff guidance rather than treating them as a prescribed therapeutic sequence.
Krauma's accessibility statement is broad. It says the venue was designed for accessibility but does not establish every transfer aid, changing arrangement or companion policy. Ask about your own requirements before arrival. A general accessibility statement is insufficient to promise a particular hoist or independent transfer.
Hours and holiday planning
The dedicated opening page lists both baths and restaurant 11:00-21:00 Monday-Sunday. December 24 and 31 are listed 11:00-16:00; December 25 and January 1 are closed. Recheck exceptions for your travel year and selected booking.
Those are facility hours, not a verified last-admission or last-water-entry schedule. A 20:30 arrival should not be assumed to provide a complete bathing visit. Confirm the latest slot and required water-exit time directly if arriving late.
Location and food
The operator gives Deildartunguhver, 320 Reykholt, on Route 50 and describes it as 97 km from Reykjavik. Use that exact destination: Reykholt is the locality reference, not an instruction to stop anywhere in the village. The official coordinates are 64.6644782,-21.41228.
A restaurant is on site and has its own table-booking link. Bathing admission is not a meal inclusion or table reservation. Check the current menu and dietary needs if lunch or dinner is integral to your route. We do not repeat a seating capacity because different language sections give inconsistent figures.
Choosing between pools and indoor relaxation
The dedicated pool page describes shallow warm baths intended for sitting and a deeper cold plunge. This is useful when deciding what sort of stop you want: the published layout emphasizes soaking, not a measured lane-swimming session. No exact depth or accessible transfer method was established, so ask before relying on a particular pool arrangement.
The separate relaxation page describes dim lighting, seating, music and a central fireplace. It also identifies an infrared cabin with an advertised 35-55 C range and a steam room. Those are different heat environments, not interchangeable names for one room. Use only the parts of the facility that suit you and follow current staff instructions; the website's medical and detox marketing is not repeated here as verified benefit.
For planning, divide the stop into travel, changing, bathing, indoor rest and any meal. The published road-distance estimate does not include these activities. If you want a restaurant reservation after bathing, confirm the table time independently and ask how changing and pool-exit cutoffs work. We have not verified a minimum required visit duration and do not manufacture a recommended number of hours.
Frequently asked questions
Are children free?
The published price is ISK 500 for ages zero to twelve. That rate does not establish independent-entry or guardian rules; confirm supervision arrangements.
Is a towel included?
The site lists towel rental separately at ISK 1,400. Bring your own or verify a package that explicitly includes it.
Is the spa open on Christmas Day?
The current hours page lists December 25 and January 1 closed, with shorter hours December 24 and 31.
Can I bathe in Deildartunguhver itself?
Use the designated cooled spa pools. The operator describes the natural source at approximately 100 C.
Booking, refunds and groups: verified 2 November 2026
The official booking page recommends reserving ahead; reception tickets depend on remaining capacity. It asks groups of fifteen or more to email krauma@krauma.is. Bath entry, a restaurant table and a group offer are separate arrangements. Booking information.
| Notice before the visit | Published cancellation treatment |
|---|---|
| More than 48 hours | Full refund |
| 24-48 hours | 50% refund |
| Less than 24 hours | No refund |
| Krauma closes for unforeseen circumstances | Full refund or a new booking |
The same page first says at least 48 hours for full refund, then more than 48 hours in the detailed line. Confirm treatment if cancelling exactly at that boundary and keep the accepted booking terms. These are observed policies, not a guarantee of a future refund or a newly dated policy publication. Full booking policy.
Food choices beyond an on-site restaurant label
The newly reviewed menu distinguishes a tomato-and-bell-pepper soup, a tasting platter, burgers, fish, lamb and a named vegan dish. It lists a salt-baked beetroot vegan main at ISK 4,490, salmon at ISK 6,290 and a lamb duo at ISK 6,900. The salad includes cashews and goat feta in its standard description but can be made vegan; request the actual adaptation and discuss any allergy. Current linked menu.
The children's section is marked up to twelve years old. Its smaller dishes have their own prices, rather than inheriting the spa's child-admission price. Reserve a table separately and confirm current availability; the menu and booking pages were inspected on 2 November 2026. A restaurant photograph or a capacity figure is not a reserved place.
