neat place being ruined by ignorant tourists

This was a cool place to visit. The walk up is along a river that has some beautiful sights and is worth the walk. The pool itself was warm and had a neat view. Sadly, the amount of tourists are ruining the location. There was...More

Great (with the right mindset)

I am a history enthusiast (and someone who looks for off-the-beaten-path ideas) so I was really intrigued by the idea of Seljvallalaug. Ultimately, the experience was a great one for me. That said, no, the changing area isn’t clean, and there is algae in the...More

Ratched pool but worthwhile hike

"Ratched" is the urbanized version of "wretched," which means "of poor quality." This pool was ratched. My wife, daughter and I were there in early August, and all the detailed descriptions below are spot-on. Wear your swimsuits under your clothes so you won't be scarred...More

All foreign travellers should be embarrassed

I was there two days ago. And am both saddened and horrified by the state travellers have left this pool and it’s change rooms. Filthy, full of garbage, empty beer bottles, discarded clothes, underwear, toilet paper, and more, all strewn about the change area. I...More

Beautiful views, the easy "hike" is worth it alone, but the pool leaves much to be desired.

Echoing the choir here when i say the change rooms are DISGUSTING, but be quick about it and you'll be fine. Bring flip flops for your feet to help you change, towel, a plastic bag for your clothes that you do not mind setting on...More

Have the right expectations

After a long day getting to Dyrholaey we wanted to find a pool on the way back to Selfoss. Found this one. Now, if you want posh and pristine and prefer guided tours over flinging yourself into the world to see what happens, then probably...More

Ashamed

For the first time a was ashamed of my country. All the surroundings where disgusting, toilet paper everywhere, not even minimal facilities for guests. Those responsible should be ashamed of themselves this is not what we want to represent.

Easy to find, go there!

Easy to find, a short 15 min walk to the pool. Beautiful surroundings. The pool is all natural and therefore dirty. A bit crowded as well. Well worth a visit because its a genuine experience.

I took may foreign friends with me to see Seljavallalaug. I was there for the first time in thirty years. And what a disappointment. There were to many tourists and the hike from the car park to the pool was like 5th avenue. The pool...More

You could visit one of the modern public pools along the way(every town has one). They offer showers as well as more modern hot and cold pools, saunas and steam baths.
