Choose your destination
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
The places
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.
Verification
Hot tub
Fancy hot water? The hot tubs
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
Partner listings
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
Frequently asked questions
How I check
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Confirmed by guests
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
Confirmed by a reviewer
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
Advertised only
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Indoor pool
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
Places I left out
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
