Kimkim Trip Reviews for Chile

Friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant served very good food a reasonable prices.

Clean, quiet, nicely decorated. Simple meals. Friendly staff.

Good breakfast, nice scenary. Felt a bit rushed with the photography, as we were a private group.,

Our stay at the hotel in San Pedro de Atacama was mostly pleasant. While they occasionally had issues with hot water, they worked hard to resolve it. The restaurant was excellent, and the staff was very kind. The laundry service was a big plus as well.

The Wildlife Photo Safari was an incredible experience, especially thanks to our guide JP. We even managed to see a puma, which was thrilling. JP was very knowledgeable and made the whole safari worthwhile.

The Stargazing Tour was an unexpected delight. JP gave a great presentation before the tour, and his wife Valeria was very knowledgeable during the telescope session. It exceeded our expectations. It was a very pleasant surprise that it was so interesting.

Discovering the Salt Flats of Uyuni was a magical experience. The drivers made it fun with creative photography, and despite initial reluctance, we all participated and ended up with some fantastic photos.

We were not informed that there would be 50+ 17 year olds staying there partying well after midnight. The hotel staff didn’t seem to be able to control the situation. Chaperones were useless and very inconsiderate. Nice hotel otherwise

The hotel was not great - basic but not close to anything and walking around was difficult. I think it would have been better to have been able to stay closer to the downtown core if possible.

This place was really great. Room good, staff helpful, breakfast excellent, good location to walk into town, pickups for tours was easy. I would recommend this to anyone.

This hotel had a very relaxed feeling despite people coming an going at all hours. Room was good size and the bathroom was spacious enough for two people. Location was relatively good - 10 minutes to town centre. It was clean and well maintained. Staff were really helpful.

All the Moai sites were interesting. Anakena was a bit disappointing because of all the people. Moai were good.

Guide was excellent and knew his history

Guide was a fill in but was very good. Very opinionated but he got his message across.

If you have snorkeled anywhere in the South Pacific or in the Galapagos this is really a waste of time. There are few fish - I maybe saw a total of 100 - and the variety is poor. I did it to say I had snorkeled at Easter Island but it was not very good. I was the only one in the group so had the leader to myself.

We got picked up at the time and dropped off.

Despite the early start this was worth it. The guide was awesome. I think perhaps the best one we had the whole trip.

The scenery was out of this world. The concept of salt mining took on a whole new meaning - I am not sure how they did it. The guide took us up a the long way first - great idea as it was not so steep.

This is a long day to start with so moving the viewing of the flamingos to the the Laguna Cejar day would have made this less strenuous. There is a lot of driving involved so one way to shorten it would be to change the flamingo viewing.

I thought this was good. It was very basic and so anyone who knew anything about stars and the Milky Way might have found this boring.

I love birds so that part was great. Swimming in the salt sea - well floating - was very tightly controlled. Not an issue with the guide but definitely with the Parks lady.

Our local guide Tarongi was amazing and this tour was everything I wanted it to be. Seeing the moai in person was amazing and photos truly don’t do it justice.

This tour was a great way to see the city. I didn’t realize how spread out Santiago really is. This tour hit the highlights and riding the cable car was a great way to view the city from above.

Great view of the mountains. Felt safe with several walkable restaurants. Nice Breakfast

Nice resort with great pool and spa. Offered a shuttle between the hotel and town which is nice, but required as it is a little ways outside. The food was ok, but menu somewhat limited.

Spectacular setting and views. Staff was all very friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent. They have a long list of provided activities, but be sure to contact the hotel about them or book ahead of time.

Claudio was informative and very accommodating to our interests. A great start to the trip.

The wine tour and tasting were great. Claudio suggested having lunch at the winery, which was delicious. The tour of Valparaiso was interesting, informative and scenic.

The stargazing tour itself was very cool. The pickup and drop off were being changed/coordinated through WhatsApp somewhat last minute. The drivers did not speak any English, but the tour itself did have a translator.

Layana Travel did a great job with communication and the tour was incredible. The tour guide and driver were great. The meals were somewhat lacking compared to other tours nearby, but were just fine.

Very cool. Long drive to see the Geysers, but was a beautiful spot. There were extra stops on the way back we were not anticipating. The tour dropped us in the town center and unfortunately the hotel shuttle wasn't running yet, so was a somewhat long walk back after a very early morning.

We didn't really know what to expect from this tour, but it was great. The guide and driver were both top notch. The hike was a pleasant surprise and the food spread and cocktail at sunset were delightful.

We didn’t stay here - please see our review and discount the star rating. The survey will not let me proceed without scoring

The location itself was great. The bellboy to the front desk employees were really attentive. What it lacks is an update to their rooms. Seems very dated. The bathroom needs to be fixed. It is functioning but it just doesn't look inviting at all. It needs caulking. Food was okay. Nothing fancy.

I like this place. It's maybe a good 10 minute walk from the city center but i like the peace and quiet that it provides. Room and bathroom is clean. It's not a high end lodge but i like the fact that they upcycle materials to use. The restaurant is clean and inviting. Food is okay. it's just a typical free breakfast. But i'll pick to stay here again if ever we'll be back in Chile.

We absolutely love this hotel !!! This has a lot of character. We love the quirkiness of this hotel. Every detail was thought of. The room has awesome. Clean and inviting. Too bad we only stayed here overnight. The restaurant was awesome. This hotel is an example of having a clean, inviting and comfortable without being expensive. They made use of what's native to the area and re-used vintage treasure finds to keep this place authentic. It is a small hotel since this used to be a house that's almost a century old but i just like the vibe. The only downside is the fact that there is no elevator which makes carrying your luggage harder not only for us guests but also for the staff that carries them.

The hotel is located in a good part town that is easy to access from Airport. Lots of good restaurants and shops nearby. The staff are very accommodating and the luggage storage room fit our ski bags and was easy to access when needed. The rooms vary in size. The pool room is relaxing.

A fantastic hotel. great location above the fray of the city with views of the harbor. The owners are super kind and accommodating to customers. (thanks for the Birthday breakfast with soundtrack!) The public space and outdoor area is clean and relaxing, which is nice after a day on the streets in town. The local is food is good if you want to stay in for a meal.

Upscale and modern. I wish I had an extra day here to relax outside under the tree.

The hotel is peaceful and clean. Wonderful artisan craftsmanship adorn the space. Hours of love and care have built this hotel.

The location is fantastic. Easy to walk around town and get picked up by tour companies. A bit noisy with guest leaving rooms. simple accommodations.

a fun filled day customized to meet our needs. We were able to surf the sand dunes ( "maybe we can ski it" ) and go swimming after a food feast of fresh local fish. When your guide (Angel) really listens and gets to know his guests, magic happens. We had so much fun and laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.

Bright moon prevented good star viewing. telescopes were cool and learned new things. communication on pick up time, location and which tour operator could be improved.

good guides and drivers. very interesting day, learned a ton.

A very interesting experience and worth the early morning pick up. Rare and unique, great photos opportunities.

Our driver was excellent. He was kind and understanding as emotions were overflowing while seeing the Andes mountain range up close for the first time. Which in itself was a remarkable experience. With safety in mind, he delivered us in a timely manner. 80's pop sing along a bonus.

A great tour with Angel, our local guide from Responsible Travel. We hit the best empanada spot, met the owners and got to know about local spices, before heading to the markets for shopping. Drank traditional Mote con huesillo and the Pisco Sours. Enjoyed dishes showcasing the variety of fresh regional seafood. Finished the day with a sunset picnic in a secluded park overlooking the city. A magical day and a great way to spend a day in Santiago. Our guide was knowledgeable about regional dishes and local restaurants. Came prepared to escort us through the busy market stalls and answer all of our questions.

good communication from tour guide, great funny driver. Amazing murals Valparaiso. Go for the art, stay for the winding streets and discover /support local artists. good unique food and bar scene.

Different hotel shld stay

Very nice hotel with a great location and friendly staff.

This hotel is in desperate need of room upgrades. The door to our room looked like it had been kicked in with marks and debris on the floor and a broken/missing doorstop. We did request to change rooms however the other room the staff showed us looked very similar. The tub/shower was falling apart with pieces of tape across the tile and a moldy and cracked shower handle. Breakfast was included with our stay however the options were very limited and of poor quality. The location very central and the lobby is very modern and up to date which is why I did not give this hotel a one star review.

Small hotel with a great location for downtown walking and a great breakfast. We did not have a chance to use the jacuzzi/sauna but loved that it was an option.

Stunning hotel with beautiful waterfront view. Our room looked out over the water and we loved that we could open the window to catch the sea breeze. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very kind and helpful to us.

This was our favorite day of the whole trip with stunning views of Torres del Paine National Park. Our guide was Jhon Pineda and he was super friendly and helpful and took some absolutely amazing photos of our family. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we got the best quality photos and videos and we appreciate him so much. He made sure we were comfortable with our baby all day and always checked on us. This tour cannot be missed!

Amazing food and service with a tango show that was out of this world! The dancers, musicians, and singers are so talented I could have watched them perform for hours! Truly talented!

This was a great cruise. I think it would have been helpful to have more of a description regarding the pick up time, the length of drive, and need for walk to the boat as felt somewhat surprised by the morning. The trip was fantastic though but could have had a better description of what to expect.

The hotel is off 5 mins walk to the centre. The room we had was quite small. Due to the design of the hotel, the room is quite hot and we had to open the door to allow air circulation. The hotel is a bite dated but the staff is great and helpful. The best thing of the hotel is its restaurant. The food is very good and priced very reasonable (actually, it is cheaper than the restaurants in the centre).

This hotel is in the middle of nowhere but perhaps there are not a lot of choices in the hight desert. It is dated and cold. It is cold because the hotel turn on and off the heat at certain time. They even shut off the power at night (without informing the guests). So you will not have light or wifi. Most rooms have a window facing the common corridor, when people talking in the corridor, you can hear everything. The hotel should have advised all guests to be quiet in the corridor. The dinner on the other hand is quite good.

We were staying there for 2 nights. It is supposed to be very highly rate hotel. Obviously, we are disappointed. The facilities are dated and you can see many things were fallen apart. The wifi doesn't work and there is no closet space in the room. The food in the restaurant is disappointed. The only saving grace is the staff. They are very helpful and nice.

The hotel/camp is very unique because the room is a yurt connected by walk ways to the main reception and restaurant. The best part is that you feel that you are in the nature and not being disturbed by other hotel guests. But since it is a yurt. you are subject to the nature as well because you will hear the rain and the wind (it is quite windy in Patagonia). All the staff are fantastic and helpful. The food for breakfast, lunch and dinner are very good. Many people chose not to go for activities to enjoy the facilities and lunch. In addition, the guides of the activities are also very wonderful. The only draw back for us is that we were waiting an hour at the airport for pickup even though they were informed of the plane arrival time. There is only 2 flights flying in Puerto Nateles everyday.

The hotel is dated and service is average. The breakfast is sad too.

We are staying in Hotel Mod, not Argentino because we were advised that Hotel Mod is better. Hotel Mod is about 6 blocks from the centre in a safe neighbourhood. The hotel is big but the service can be improved. The staff is good and helpful. The check in service is lengthy because you need to download the key app to your phone to open the room door. The restaurant in the hotel only provide breakfast and the breakfast is disappointed. They served a lot of canned fruit.

We were picked up from the hotel to a location not far away. We were provided with a translator to explain what we would see. It was a great experience because the guide provided a lot of information and answered all our questions through the translator. Unfortunately, we had a full moon and we could't see a lot of stars. At the end of the tour, we were provided with drinks and snacks.

Lovely hotel and very well located Eduardo at the reception was most unhelpful and nasty. He absolutely refused to give us our room one minute before 3pm, when he could easily have requested the housekeeping staff. Apart from that it is a really lovely place to stay
