Kimkim Trip Reviews

Location was great but place looks dingy like another Bates Motel. Graffiti’s everywhere .

Very small but view is nice

Best Hotel I have seen. Spacious but hard to find specially at night.

Bates Motel

Ideal place to naviagate and best place for sightseeing.

This place is a bit better. Better restaurant but super expensive Parking is an issue but manageable .

Hard to find. Came in late in the evening. Same old small and Dingy.

Food is horrible and super expensive. Stay is clean but room very small.

very disappointing and hard to find first.

Site is not better than Skatafell glacier tour but Cave is nice but somewhat deforming. Tour guide is great though, makes a difference.

Great walk and exercise and well worth the trip for this.

What an absolutely charming place ! We were in the most adorable little apartment , comfortable, livable and yet decorated with a perfect eye .We loved sitting having morning coffee or afternoon wine watching the ocean out the window . I would have loved to have just moved in and never leave ! Everything we needed was there in our cozy space and the beds so comfortable. Our host , Lone, was a highlight of our trip through Norway . The restored post office / dining room she’s created looks like something out of a travel magazine and her family stories only add to the experience and character . Breakfast (btw) was delicious and casually elegant . Lone sat with us telling us stories and giving us advice on places to explore locally This stay was a highlight of our trip and the accommodations should be considered a destiny on their own , it’s that great of an experience

Nice place to stay . The staff was incredibly kind and helpful

Cool hotel in a fabulous location with the most amazing breakfast !

Grand in every regard. "Regal" might also fit. As characterful as the 1890s style would suggest, while still having every modern convenience. Those towels - so soft, so absorbent - and that shower. Ahhh, satisfaction. Both restaurants are excellent (Bo and Muc is more casual, 1889 a multi-course extravagance). Breakfasts are, as you would expect, very good, although our omelets were a bit under-done. We went hiking with the Torridon Outdoor Experience, and it was an excellent walk near the hotel. We also hiked the hotel grounds, which are extensive and very pretty.

The Broad Bay House is a purpose-built small inn near Stornoway. Super clean and well equipped. Tom, the owner, has thought of everything any traveler could need. He has loads of material about Lewis and Harris, and has prepared a guide book that reflected his deep knowledge of the area. Breakfasts were excellent, esp. the porridge. And we had the seafood passed-plate meal for dinner one night. The location is right on the beach, and it's worth going for a walk past the sheep.

At every level, the Dipping Lugger is amazing. They think of everything. The room was gorgeous, the bed super-comfortable. The food was spectacular! There are only 3 rooms, but this is luxury writ large and in a comfortable, not ostentatious way. The only quirk is that they pick your meals - dinner is a fixed 7 course meal (and what a meal it is!) (the bread I will NEVER forget) and breakfast is chosen for you. It's all more than good, but maybe not what you would have picked. Just an idiosyncrasy, not a problem.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Scourie House because the people were so nice. It's not fancy - a well maintained older hotel that was probably built as an inn. Our room wasn't that big, so suitcase space was at a premium. But what the room may have lacked in upscale fashion, the staff made up in friendliness. And the food in the restaurant was very good.

One of those classic old manor houses. Our room was spacious and had a very comfortable sofa on which I could sit and relax. It's an odd omission, but there was no desk chair in the room, so my laptop computer really was a laptop computer. The staff was superb, the dinner excellent.

A very nice hotel in a good location for walking to central Inverness. Our room was exotic in that the bathroom, which was large and well-equipped, was down a winding staircase from the bedroom.

The staff was delightful. The room was very large and accomodating.

Enjoyed the entire experience here.

Spacious room and bathroom. Nice amenities including robe and slippers.

Just what we had hoped for as an experience in country English setting!

Perfect location! Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was a special benefit, with a separate dining room.

A bit pricey for a late check in and very early departure however very convent to the airport

canceled this tour because it went from a small group tour to a large 50+ group tour

Our room was sub par. More like a motel 6 than a 3 star hotel. Breakfast was average tasting, lots of options but underwhelming.

Family run hotel and right across the street from the beach added to the beauty! So much room! Staff was helpful and friendly as well!!

Beautiful views, the layout and lobby were quaint and comfortable as well as the outside seating for breakfast!

Everything from the location to the staff, Acropolis view and food was amazing! George was especially helpful and so friendly, even took time to help me learn how to say thank you in Greek.

An intimate setting off of a side alley just steps away form the old city, this was a great stay. The staff were personable and helpful, offering tips about the local area as well as a wonderful breakfast every day. The bed was super-comfortable and the bathroom was spa-like. We loved it

Clean nice space. Great location. No front desk and when we arrived it started to rain and we didn’t know how to get in. Luckily other travelers let us in the vestibule out of the rain. We called the number on the entrance door and we confirmed our stay and were given the pass code to enter. No paper towels in the kitchen

great location due to connection to the Rome airport.

Beautiful place to stay and experience. Wonderful way to end a trip.

I rated a 4 due to no small refrigerator in the room to use. Also bathroom products (soap, lotion etc) were limited and the hair dryer was difficult to use due it being a very cheap model.

The hotel was so very nice. Great attention to detail, products for guests to use and location was great. Breakfast was wonderful. .

Staff were so very helpful. A wonderful breakfast was included. Loved the location near the Pantheon, Trevi fountain and Navona Piazza.

I always enjoying taking a tour when visiting a new city. Our guide, Giulia, made our tour interesting and fun. She shared information about the Palio di Siena as we walked around Siena. We had the opportunity to learn more about Siena but also about this historic race. This made our tour quite a bit of fun and it felt like we had insider information about the race.

A wonderful tasty and fun evening. Valentina was a great guide. She shared many locations in Bologna with interesting information and good food and wine. This is a tour to definitely go on.

My husband and I really enjoyed this class. Luca was the chef who led the class. He did a great job explaining the meal preparation and how to's of making pasta. The meal we prepared was later served to us in the restaurant and was delicious.

A very fun day. Our driver was knowledgeable about the wine region, wine and the wineries we visited. The lunch served at our second was awesome. We enjoyed all of the wineries.

We enjoyed driving through the Tuscany countryside. Beautiful views and towns. I would have liked to have spent a little more time in the towns to walk around. The farm lunch was wonderful. So nice to meet the farmer and his wife. An excellent meal was served to us. Directly following the meal, we went to a town and had a wine tasting. It would have been nice to have the wine tasting a bit later as it was too soon after just finishing a meal with wine.

Very interesting tour. My husband and I enjoyed it. Our guide Thomas was knowledgeable and wanted to be sure we enjoyed the tour. Our farm lunch was awesome.

Our guide from Bespoke Emila was very knowledgeable and made the time go by quickly. I am so sorry but I do not recall name. He was very interesting and made sharing his information fun. We had a very nice lunch together at the end of our tour.

Locally owned and run hotel that has clearly had a lot of care and attention. Very good facilities, conveniently located, and attractive dining and imbibing options. It looks as though a significant portion of the hotel's business comes from tour buses overnighting in Waterford. That was the aspect of the hotel that was less appealing to us. In the bar and restaurant we heard more American accents than Irish. The staff we came in contact with were almost all from countries other than Ireland. Make no mistake, they did a fine job, and were very accommodating. We simply prefer more local flavor.

Really lovely, gracious hotel. The room was elegant, and the breakfast area was equally nicely appointed. We were on the second floor (3rd to Americans), and the absence of a lift made getting our luggage upstairs a bit of a challenge, but that was the only thing that was less than ideal.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Butler Townhouse in Kilkenny. Our lower level room was spacious and beautifully appointed. We had our own private access to the property's beautiful gardens, which in turn provided a shortcut to Kilkenny Castle. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The breakfast there was provided in a gracious dining room, was made to order, and a touch we especially liked, was our own two tiered tray of breads and pastries. It was wonderfully indulgent.

This was a fun day. When we got to Tramore, where we met Neil, our guide, it was raining, very blustery, and quite chilly. Before our tour was done that rain has stopped, the wind had died down, and the sun was coming out. Neil was a great teacher, very interesting, and clearly passionate about helping guests learn about the ways the Irish traditionally and today, get sustenance from the plants and sea life that show up with the tides. He is a very well educated and read person, with a keen interest in helping retain this traditional knowledge. It was a great tour.

What a way to end my trip! Loved, loved it here. Would move in if I could. Beach is amazing. Sunset to die for. Service and food tremendous. After being in Asia for 5 weeks, was nice to have Italian restaurant on site.

A lovely oasis. You feel serene from the moment you enter. Awesome staff and service. Very good food on-site.

A very cool boutique hotel with lots of charm. Very nice-sized room. Small but great spa. Best massage of my trip was here.

Such a cool spot with an incredible vibe. Was only here for a very short time but made a lasting impression. I wish I had purchased the robe in my room!!!!

Wow! This private boat experience was deluxe. I was so well cared for! The crew was just amazing and it was the best way to see the other islands. Food & drink superb.

Elephants are my favorite animals. So happy to see them being cared for so well here. Great amount of time to walk around and experience them up close. Loved it!

A truly lovely day with diverse, interesting & exciting activities. I enjoyed them all thoroughly. So honored to participate in the alms giving.

Beautiful location. Well set up for agro-tourism. Enjoyed learning about the tea process. Had a blast with my guide climbing the sticky waterfalls at Sri Lanna. She was a delight.

Beautiful spa. Gorgeous, private treatment area. Only issue was slight irritation on face after treatment. I have sensitive skin, but it subsided quickly.

My favorite guide of the trip. So knowledgeable and passionate about this awesome place. I was a sponge soaking up every thing I could. Can’t recommend enough. Lunch was delicious!

Something I never could have experienced on my own. Grateful. Again, just a wonderful cultural and educational activity.

A wonderful cultural and educational experience. So lucky to have done it. So peaceful on the water.

Probably my favorite thing I did in Bangkok. City was particularly vibrant on this evening due to impending water festival. The flower markets were amazing! Guide was particularly gracious in choosing food compatible with my palate. Delicious!

Loved the venue and activities. Smile every time I wear the bracelets I made here.

A must-do. So impressive.

Intriguing introduction to Bangkok. Juxtaposition of chaotic and peaceful environments. Something for all of the senses.

Nice location. Close to beach and promenade. Clean, well-appointed rooms. Blackout shades to curb heat very much appreciated. Super helpful staff who translated complex process for paying parking ticket. Certain common areas lacked air conditioning.

Quiet, restful, just enough out of the way. Spacious room with nice terrace. Very good breakfast and dinner.

Fantastic view from room. Very good food & drinks at on-site restaurant. Staff went above & beyond to create “certificate” to celebrate my sister’s birthday and by providing complimentary room upgrade.

A unique experience in the southern mountains. Local staff extremely helpful and attentive. Very good food. Views from rooms outstanding. Special kudos to our hiking guide Mujo who was exceptionally kind and patient when path proved very strenuous for me. Thanks also to Astrid who arranged a gift of local specialities for my sister to celebrate her birthday.

Well-located. Some facilities closed during brief visit. Very helpful staff. Went out of way to help celebrate my sister’s birthday.

Excellent location. Clean, safe. Well-appointed rooms. Good food and drinks at on-site restaurant. Lovely pool area. Fantastic staff. Went out of way to decorate room as surprise birthday treat for my sister.

A must-do. So much fascinating history.

A must do for fit guests. Ascent was very taxing for me.

Stunning landscape best seen from on the water.

Nice length of time on water. Nice to be able to swim. Beautiful at sunset.

Amazing setting. Gracious and entertaining host. Great food and drinks.

Good proximity to train station. Room was so small there was no place for luggage. Adjacent construction and road work did not help conditions.

Good location, modern rooms and facility. Need lobby access without steps.

Showing its age, but the location is excellent. A bit of a maze to reach our room, but a beautiful view of the Eiger.

Tricky to find, rooms are small. Awkward entrance porch. It is convenient to the incline up to the train station. Close enough to the lakefront to make the walk enjoyable.

Location is central, but access is hard. Wish we had known there was a shuttle available from the station. Reception is up a flight of stairs from the entrance, or you have to know to enter through the lower-level restaurant to access the elevator.

Amazing view of the Matterhorn from our room. The rooms, the amenities were all first-rate.

Room was a bit small and cramped, but we enjoyed the balcony. Cannot enter the lobby without pulling luggage up stairs. Getting from the train station to the hotel was arduous with luggage.

Location close to Lake Geneva is nice. No elevator access at street/lobby level. We were stuck in a room with a view of neighbors' laundry.

Beautiful castle and well-organized tour.

We enjoyed the presentation and the tour. The stories and history were excellent.

We decided to pivot to Mt. Pilatus instead.

Enjoyed kayaking, but the trip time before and after made the day more of a chore than an adventure.

The only negative was the weather. Worst day of the trip, there was no visibility at the top. The Discovery tour was excellent in the mountain, walking inside the glacier was awesome.

Loved the location, the experience and the people. They did not speak English and we did not speak Italian, but we made it work. The meal was outstanding, one of our best.

A beautiful bike ride and lunch. Alex is a fascinating person and excellent guide.

Great experience. Priority boarding is a must.

Enjoyed seeing and learning about the barrels. The "tour" and demonstration were completed in a short time. Maybe not the best experience for a party of two. Other, larger groups seemed to get more attention/activities.

A good experience. The best fondue we had on the whole trip. Truly enjoyed Geneva Old Town.

Simply stunning views in an incredible location with the most hospitable, friendly, and accommodating staff I have ever encountered.

Excellent however a bit long at nearly 2.5 hours, perhaps would shorten to 1.5 hours.

Seadragon is an idyllic location that is perfectly located in Kangaroo Island. The staff are friendly and accommodating. World class across the board.

Beautiful and centrally located. Excellent service and value

The hotel is very nice particularly compared other comparable place in Hoi An. It has a bit of a plantation decor and feel.

Being on the bay for a night is extraordinary and worth the effort. The boat is small and only holds room for less than 20 people. If you’re looking for socializing, this is probably not the boat. It would be great to rent the whole thing for a retreat or wedding party.

I great resort- particularly if you are looking for relaxation and quiet. Nice rooms with great river views.

Amazing piece of history! It’s a throw French themed throw back decor, filled with famous previous famous guest and rich history.

Great way to see the city and the nooks and crannies. It might be hot for those that need aircon- but we enjoyed the fresh open air even in the heat.

We went to a nice neighborhood into the second floor of a shop that also conducts cooking classes. The space was clean, but nothing spectacular.
