KinB has a problem with that now. People write bad reviews for that very reason, and people refer to old people and people of Eastern origin.
When I was there, the staff warned such people about it because they had been seen.

VinB also has its problems.
They have an unclear system of entering without a reservation.
No one knows how long you will wait outside in the cold, and no one knows what the reservation itself means.
How many people is that because the spa itself can accommodate more people than that, but the ceremonies that take place every hour (sometimes two at the same time) are simply overcrowded.

I have never been to VinB in the summer.
Although I follow the weather forecast. Summer is really very short. The vast majority of the time it is cloudy in the summer.
In the winter, everyone sticks to wearing a robe. They immediately get dressed after the pool and the ceremony.

It remains a bit strange to hear that in summer the policy of taking off one's robe and walking around naked is so much more prevalent than in winter.
Of course, in winter it is very warm inside, but not outside.

How many people actually visit the spa in summer compared to winter?
In late July it was busy. Not completely full, but busy. There were some ceremonies that were full, but a few that weren't. Generally people wore robes when not in the sauna, but there was plenty of nudity, in the sauna, before and after, showers, pools, etc. I was there on one sunny day and one cloudy day. The main difference is there were many dozens of people sunbathing nude on the sunny day, and not many at all on the cloudy day. It seemed that behavior was very good overall, and everyone seemed pretty comfortable. I think the staff has things well under control. And I hope people in this group also will act respectfully so we can keep a good thing going. Just make sure you're going there to relax and enjoy the sauna in a traditional way.
