bathroom
A room in an apartment or house that is equipped with a bathtub and/or shower, a sink, and usually also a toilet, and is used for personal hygiene.
Das neue Badezimmer wurde mit modernen Fliesen und einer Regendusche ausgestattet.
The new bathroom was fitted with modern tiles and a rainfall shower.
The word is a compound of the verb 'baden' (to bathe) and the noun 'das Zimmer' (room). So it literally describes a room for bathing.

Use 'im Badezimmer' (in the bathroom; dative) when talking about a location, and 'ins Badezimmer' (into the bathroom; accusative) when describing movement toward it.
Die Handtücher liegen im Badezimmer.
The towels are in the bathroom.
Common verbs used in connection with the bathroom are 'putzen' (to clean), 'renovieren' (to renovate), 'einrichten' (to furnish/set up), or simply 'ins Badezimmer gehen' (to go into the bathroom).

bathroom / bath
'das Bad' and 'das Badezimmer' mean the same room in an apartment or house in this sense. It is where you wash, shower, or bathe. 'Bad' is very short and common in everyday language; 'Badezimmer' sounds a bit more precise and complete. Both words are correct when referring to the room. The only important thing is: 'das Bad' can also have other meanings, for example a bath in the tub or a swimming pool. 'das Badezimmer' only refers to the room.
Im neuen Haus ist das Badezimmer hell und groß.
In the new house, the bathroom is bright and large.
