Kimkim Trip Reviews for Iceland

Relaxing and enjoyable.

Perfect place for two nights. Hotel manager was very helpful. His recommendations were extremely helpful.

The floor was covered in stains. Very dirty throughout. The shower was so unsafe only my husband dare to use it. Tracy and I felt we would take a chance and end up on the ground.

We did not make it on time to enjoy this experience. I am sure it would have been amazing. We enjoyed the surroundings when we finally arrived. There were too many sites to enjoy that morning!

Very comfortable, staff were great & helpful, cozy & clean

Average, just step above a hostel. Warm & comfortable. No way to contact anyone for extra pillow or anything else.

Well stocked, comfortable bed, appropriate size. Really appreciated the coffee & kitchenette Long way down a dirt road.

Very cute house, downstairs was decorated in an authentic & inviting way. Great breakfast & great service. Rooms are cramped since the ceiling slopes, the bed in our room was nothing more than a thin mattress on a metal spring platform. Reminded me of a fold out couch. Pillows were lumpy & very thin. Great location & cute, just not functional for s couple.

Monica our guide was very knowledgeable & friendly. She had a professional calmness about her. I felt in good hands.

Great location in Reykjavik - it has an outdoor area on the 4th floor where my wife and I saw the Northern Lights. The staff were friendly - nothing really to complain about.

Great staff, food and rooms

The weather was lousy, but the boat tour & guide were good - we saw many icebergs with a rich, deep blue color.

Loved the view of the Harpa. Amazing bar and view from the breakfast room.

An other worldly experience. Calming and relaxing.

This remote guest house comes with a 9 hole golf course and walking trails to the beautiful beach. The food, service, cleanliness were fantastic

Loved this place, the food and the staff. Very warm, comfortable and welcoming!

I stayed at this guesthouse on Grimsey Island. It was one of the only three options on the entire island. They had a nice shared living room where we had coffee. There was no breakfast option at the guesthouse, but we grabbed a bite to eat on the ferry back to the mainland. Overall, it was a pretty decent place to stay given the limited choices.

This country hotel was a real comfort amid the desolate landscapes. It was situated about 10 kilometers off the main road on a bumpy gravel road. The food here was the highlight. They had the most wonderful smoked trout, which they actually caught right on the farm. The only downside was the uncooperative weather, but hey, that's Iceland for you.

The Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik was a typical tourist hotel. They often booked a lot of retiree buses and it was pretty crowded. But I was on one of the upper floors and it was very quiet. The lobby was crowded, but I didn't spend a lot of time there. Overall, it was a decent place to stay.

Our favorite place to stay. Lovely owners and great conversation and breakfast!!

The Frost and Fire Boutique Hotel was super sweet. I appreciate the small boutique-style hotels.

We had a bit of a problem at Vogafjós Farm Resort, as we had no shower water. Despite this, the place was lovely and the lodge was high-end. The rooms were nice, simple, and sweet.

We didn't have the best experience with the Fosshotel. It felt very impersonal. Not really our style of traveling. The people were perfectly nice there, but overall, it was not our favorite.

Our guide Izak was fabulous!

I enjoyed the Reykjavík Culture and Food Walk Tour because it was quite a unique way to explore the city after landing in Iceland. We visited five restaurants, which was a bit too much food in one sitting. However, the tour was a nice way to interact with the local cuisine and culture. I might consider doing it in another country with more interesting ethnic foods.

I absolutely loved the Glacier Hike- Glacier Encounter. It was one of our favorite activities and was a truly unique experience.

We visited Möðrudalur Farm and it was a lovely place. The area had a lot of bugs, which was a bit of a nuisance, but overall the experience was positive!

We visited Hvitserkur, which was a unique location. However, the long gravel road to reach the spot was a bit challenging. Despite this, we still had a great time!

Great room. Great food really liked the working farm

Terrible location Construction going on all around the place. Just a mess

Super nice and helpful staff. Nice room. Far from downtown

We absolutely loved this place! It felt like a completely private, hidden retreat!

The apartment was good enough for just one night. It had the best location, right there in the city center. However it had a very small space for eating and wasn't family friendly. The balcony was a bit dangerous for kids and we had to move the beds a bit so it would be safe for kids. In despite of this, there were no issues and the check in/out was very easy.

This was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. It was a very modern house, extra spacious inside and outside, with character. It had a jacuzzi and even a steam room in a separate space. The living room and kitchen were so well designed, like from a magazine. The house is in a large condo area so we had access to various amenities and two restaurants. The main one on the second floor offered islander food and it was fabulous. Staff was also very friendly, everything went very smoothly.

This was the most unique and typical Icelander house we stayed in the whole trip. The location was surreal, in the middle of nowhere with very typical surroundings. The only disadvantage was that it wasn't made for a 3 years old, who fell from the stairs and got a bruise. Going up and down wasn't comfortable for some of us, however it's a quirky house worth the stay for an older family. Hopefully next time when kids are older!

Wow, the best location in the whole trip. Everything was perfect, the house was small but modern, cosy and it had everything needed for two nights. We walked around the area as suggested by the owner and it was so energizing to see those beautiful surroundings. We would definitely be back to this house.

This house was so much better than we expect it for the last night. It was spacious, clean, comfortable and very close to both the airport and the blue lagoon.

This experience was mind-blowing and the best of all it was kid-friendly so my kids got to be in a glacier at an early age. It was mesmerizing to experience the glacier inside and outside, to learn about the climate change impact and just to see how much effort it goes into building the tunnels. The transportation was such an adventure for all of us as well.

This was another fantastic experience. The boat tour was very well planned. Our guide was welcoming and friendly. Being able to see a piece of ice from the glacier up close was an amazing experience. The boat tour was more in-depth than I expected. We got to see many icebergs and even a helicopter landing. The kids learned a lot and I can say it was one of the highlights of our trip.

The Blue Lagoon was amazing, and though it's definitely a larger tourist attraction, we had a great time. It's a very popular spot, but still worth the visit. We went to more lagoons than Gummy recommended because we enjoyed them so much. They were all very kid-friendly.

We loved the Secret Lagoon! It felt very off the beaten path, less crowded than some of the other lagoons. We arrived around 5pm, after a day of activities, and it was just what we needed - so relaxing. The check-in process was smooth, they provided us with everything we needed.

Loved this hotel. Very clean, great hotel shopping with lots of Icelandic products, clothing and souvenirs. Delicious breakfast, nice bar area that had numerous food choices, similar to a food court. We ate at the street taco place and it was delicious. Cozy places to sit and enjoy a drink in the evening talking and relaxing. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The desk clerk acted like we were bothering him. There is a very small gift shop with very few items. The outdoor patio was closed and under construction. We went to have a drink in the bar and there were dirty dishes on most of the tables that I cleared myself so we could sit down. The bartender was friendly. The breakfast area was very crowded and people were talking and reaching over and around uncovered food dishes and it made us feel uncomfortable to eat there. There was a tv, but we could not get youtube or netflix or any stations.

Unique individual guesthouses. Very clean, excellent breakfast. Breakfast hostess was very friendly and informative. Favorite part was the sheep right outside our window! No blow dryer or television in room. Asked for some ice and host gave us one small glassful, said he didn't have enough to provide ice to guests.

Nice hotel. Very nice, clean and big rooms. Nice places to sit both inside and outside to relax.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff. This was the only evening of our trip that it rained, and they had a pool table that we used. There is a store next door but not much else to do in the area. The bugs are bad outside and you need a head net if you are walking around. The breakfast bar was very good.

The restaurant and staff at this hotel were fantastic. Rooms were clean and comfortable. This hotel used to be a school and student dormitory and it is not new like the website says. It's a new use of an old building. The inside is very nice but the outside definitely needs work. We drove up and seriously considered not staying here because of the exterior appearance.

Newer hotel. Great location because we could drop off car and walk to hotel and airport. Breakfast bar started at 4:30 am which was great for our early flight.

Great first stop after the flight.

It was a short tour, kids seemed to really like it. There is alot of rocky paths to go thru.

Great first riding tour of the trip. Three guides in our 15 person group. Very safety conscious. Horses were great and all appeared well cared for. Raincoats, gloves, whatever you needed was available to borrow. Ride has a good mix of walking and tolt.

Amazing ride. Just the guide, me and my husband. Very safety conscious, guide Tula was very friendly. Perfect mix of walk and tolt. Horse were great.

It was a nice boat ride but we didn't see any whales. There were some big waves and they provided anyone who wanted free motion sickness tablets.
