Why is it vous êtes entré (dans la salle de bain) without an s on 'entré'?

Simon, 

the past participle and adjectival agreements with the subject pronoun ‘ vous ‘ accord with the gender and number of “ the subject “, when agreement is indicated per the usual rules of agreement. 

In the sentence you cite, the subject being spoken to is a ( one ) man, addressed politely with ‘ vous ‘.

Bonjour Simon,

Maarten is correct! Take a look here too:

Saying "tu" or "vous"? That is the question...

Using Tu and Vous to express three types of you in French (French Subject Pronouns)

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
