There are definitely better hot springs/public pools in Iceland to go to, but this one is situated closely to many of the country's largest attractions. It is not particularly clean, but is a distinct experience, and you will inevitably meet other travelers originating from around...More

The hike there is beautiful, then you arrive to the pool... The changing rooms are wet and muddy and have trash in them. The pool itself is green and slimy. I can see why some people think it's disgusting and I was worried about the...More
