Icelandic Pool Etiquette
- →Always shower thoroughly without swimwear before entering — this is mandatory and strictly enforced.
- →Hot tubs are numbered by temperature — start lower and work your way up.
- →Keep noise low in the hot pots — they are for relaxing and socialising quietly.
- →Swimwear rentals are usually available at the reception if you forgot yours.
