Kimkim Trip Reviews for Peru

The hotel is set very well...near a plaza. The decor is lovely too..lots of lovely textiles. The noise level though was really hard to sleep through. Every other guest coming up or down the stairs was so audible. Made sleeping hard.

This hotel is just aesthetically gorgeous. Each cottage is decorated beautifully. The hotel sits in the most lovely gardens. We saw many many orchid species. If you bird this is heaven - saw the cock of the rock, Andean motmot, a brilliant barbet...the list goes on and on. And the restaurant is extremely fine! Definitely our favorite day in Peru!

Lovely location- awesome restaurant...HIGHLY recommend the inka astronomy experience the hotel offers

We chosea standard room which comes with no fan! I highly recommend upgrading to a comfort room - we got lucky 2 of 3 nights with the weather but it could be miserable if we were off by one night even. This is a very unique hotel in that the entire room is exposed to the jungle...no nets even. So cicadas moths and everything else can be in your room. That took a bit of getting used to...but it also means macaws wander in to the breakfast area to steal banana bread.

Solid hotel very nice location in miraflores.

Just a really long day ...and you get in just after dark. Keep headlamps handy!

Fair warning - the ride there and back was rough rough roads and its long. The upside is that there is a family of condors that lives up at the cliffs and we were lucky enough to get a fly by at eye level! Very special.

Our birding tour was affected by bad weather but the guide gave us plenty of good pointers so we went back after the rain and saw a ton of stuff...

Loved MP but the guide was a bit of a story teller and spun some tales about what MP was built for. Train ride in was absolutely lovely - highly recommend the observatory. MP is well just exceptional..

Loved the ruins and Moray and Maras..very educational.

LOVED the canopy tours and the tour of the bamboo forests...and the sunset cruise

Guide Dino was great - worked tirelessly with us from 4:45 until a night hike even!

Loved this day seeing Ollantaytambo Moray and Maras...appreciate James very much for taking us salt and chocolate shopping!!!

An amazing spot in the Sacred Valley. Idyllic pool and very comfortable room for traveling with kids.

Beautiful boutique hotel!

Extremely well-located in Miraflores. Clean, comfortable, rooftop bar and a good breakfast.

Reviewing the rest of our time in the Amazon here - night hike, lake hike, and overall experience at the lodge - all excellent!

So many macaws and parrots to see! Worth getting up in the middle of the night for this experience.

Nancy was an excellent guide - tour is more accurately described as a food and art tour with a bit of history thrown in and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beautiful and peaceful hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food was great, and they had nightly entertainment that our group really enjoyed. The one thing I wish I had understood beforehand was the location. If you’re using the hotel as a base for day trips and traveling to Machu Picchu, there can be a lot of driving. We encountered quite a bit of traffic and ended up spending more time in the car than we expected. Knowing that now, I might have chosen to stay in Ollantaytambo instead. That has nothing to do with the hotel itself, though—the hotel was fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay.

Very nice hotel. Excellent location

Moray and Maras and picnic were amazing but our guide took us off itinerary to a high pressure sales textile factory which we did not enjoy

This was super fun but we felt rushed and couldn’t enjoy the park

With children we instead hiked the smaller mountain but it was incredible!

Our stay at Finca Sachabacayoc was unfortunately the least enjoyable part of our Peru trip. We understand that staying in the Amazon comes with certain rustic expectations, but there were several issues that made our stay less comfortable than anticipated. The biggest challenge was that we had no running water for the entire morning of one of our days, which made it difficult to shower or get ready for our activities. Even when water was available, the hot water only lasted a few minutes. It was also often difficult to find staff when we needed assistance. The rooms have metal roofs, which made them extremely hot during the day, and the fans were not sufficient to keep the room comfortable. There were also a significant number of insects on the porch, making it difficult to relax in the hammock or enjoy the outdoor space. The food was adequate but fairly average and did not stand out compared to the rest of our trip. That said, we do want to recognize the staff for their kindness during an unexpected family health issue. They arranged breakfast for us when we had to miss one of the scheduled activities and were helpful in coordinating our unexpected return to Lima. We truly appreciated their support during a stressful situation. Overall, while the staff did their best to help when it mattered most, we feel the facilities, amenities, and overall guest experience could be improved.

Lunch at Ama was one of the most memorable meals of our trip. Beyond the outstanding food, we were inspired by the owner's mission of creating employment opportunities for young people with disabilities and single mothers. It was a meaningful experience to support a local business making such a positive impact on the community. We highly recommend stopping here if you're visiting the Sacred Valley.

The Maras Salt Ponds were a fascinating place to visit, and Julio was an excellent guide. He shared interesting stories and local insights that made the visit much more meaningful. A beautiful stop in the Sacred Valley that we would highly recommend.

Visiting Moray was one of the highlights of our time in the Sacred Valley, and Julio made the experience even more memorable. His storytelling and knowledge brought the history and purpose of the terraces to life, and he took the time to answer all of our questions. We appreciated that he shared not only the historical significance of Moray but also local insights and perspectives that made the visit much more meaningful. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Julio as your guide.

Julio was an outstanding guide for our Cusco walking tour. Instead of only taking us to the typical tourist attractions, he introduced us to local gems and hidden corners of the city that made the experience feel much more authentic. He is a wonderful storyteller, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, making sure everyone in our family was comfortable throughout the tour. We learned so much about Cusco's history, culture, and local life, and would highly recommend this tour with Julio.

Blanca was an excellent guide for our Barranco walking tour. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared the history and culture of the neighborhood in a way that made it both interesting and enjoyable. She also introduced us to some amazing local restaurants, giving us a wonderful taste of authentic Peruvian cuisine. It was a great experience, and we highly recommend touring Barranco with Blanca!

We traveled with our 5 year old and overall felt like this hotel did a really wonderful job making sure we were all comfortable and taken care of. The service at breakfast in the mornings wasn't consistently spectacular; perhaps, coming from Tambo del Inka, is why the breakfast spread and service fell flat (their's is far superior). The bar was wonderful and the Pisco class was fantastic. On our final night we brought down a deck of cards and ordered drinks and some food. It was the perfect, relaxed experience!

This hotel and the grounds are incredible and the staff were wonderful! Brunch was an absolute highlight; the staff, food, and just how wonderfully luxurious but comfortable everything felt. We ate at Hawa once; however, unanimously agree that it would've been nice to have another option that was perhaps less stuffy and upscale. After a long day of traveling and hiking, Hawa felt like an extra task to get ready for in the evening, especially with a little one. We found several incredible restaurants in walking distance that fit that bill though!

great roof top bar, great location.

I loved this hotel!! Great food at the restaurant for dinner / breakfast. So beautiful and so clean.

An absolute dream stay. The stars, the spa, the restaurant. Everything was amazing.

This hotel was terrible! Mold in the bathrooms, broken glass in common areas. small rooms. loud location.

This was quite the doozy! Stunning views, but the "easy" hike was actually very difficult!

This was cute, but going to two different communities seemed very similar. I also felt a little weird about the pressure to buy things from the community. Still a great experience.

I loved Gabriel and his tour! Seeing the moon temple was incredible. Exceeded expectations

Didn't realize this would be a mile hike, but it was great! Julio was so informative.

Our room had no other ventilation than one window opening to the corridor. I would check your room when you book. The hotel was small but recently updated or built.

This is a nice hotel if you're looking for absolutely no frills. We only stayed one night of three. The staff is nice, and place is clean, and the bed was comfy. But we had a lot of down time during these days and no where to go. There is no lobby, the courtyard is outdoors in open air with no place to sit and relax. It's downright cold when the sun goes down, so you have to be in your room to stay warm. The room itself only has a small window looking out into the courtyard, so your view is a wall. We felt too enclosed to spend three nights here. The breakfast was nice, with enough selections to give us variety, but the lack of spaces was a turnoff for us.

this was a very nice and clean hotel in a great location. We only had a very short time here, but the staff was very accommodating, and spoke great english. The breakfast buffet is nothing awesome, but had plenty of selections to fill your belly before treking to Machu Pichu. The bed was quite comfortable also.

Another gem in the middle of nowhere! Our tent, # 3, probably has the best views of the mountains of any of the tents. While the dinner menu is not extensive, the selections were more than generous portions, and tasty. The service was quick and efficient. We had a fire in our fireplace every night and all we had to ask for them to come start it. The grounds are filled with flora of all kinds in bloom, and very nicely kept.

What a gem! Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, etc... The grounds are gorgeous with views of the ocean, and a number of different places to sit and relax, or have breakfast. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were more than adequate. It's a shame we couldn't stay longer!

This is a beautiful journey. The train was very comfortable, and on time. We had purchased tickets in advance, which is really the only way to go. Otherwise, the lines are long as the crowds are everywhere.

Lots of confusion about our reservation when we arrived here. Our driver not only didn't speak english, he also didn't understand our spanish well. After going through several management, no one could determine why we were there, but since I could prove we had prepaid, they let us order off our special menu. The food was awesome! The llamas wandering throughout the dining room only added to the ambiance! The views are also incredible from here.

We got our tickets for Circuit 2 a year in advance, and it was well worth the wait! We had an amazing guide (Rolly, aka Roy) throughout the ruins, and even with the number of people there, he kept our pace at one that allowed us to enjoy the views without the crowds. He was also a decent photographer.

This was an incredible experience! It was awesome to see how everything was done, and the food was really good, and plentiful. The only complaint was we had special ordered the cuy for our lunch, and that message never reached the right person. I would definitely make time in your trip for this. Our driver dropped us off at the top of the hill where train tickets are sold, and we were told the Farm is next door, but that was not the case. So we spent some time trying to figure out where to go asking in our broken spanish! We eventually figured it out.

Driver was on time for pick up, the flight was uneventful. The drive to our hotel was very long....2 hours on bumpy roads. We realize we are traveling, but it was a very long day to get to our final destination.

Our driver and tour guide were great. The tour went longer than planned, and was a bit overwhelming at the end of a busy week, but that was not their fault. We saw some cool places and learned some new things about the area, so that was nice.

It was one of the best places, close to the downtown area. comfortable rooms, loved it

fantastic location by the river

Wonderful hotel, truly top class luxury and service

This boutique hotel was such a nice spot. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were unique with plenty of room. It was very comfortable and the location was great.

Macchu Picchu town was so fun! The El Mapi was a very nice hotel right in the middle of town with plenty of shops and restaurants to explore. The staff was very welcoming and both dinner and breakfast were very good.

This hotel was a fun surprise. Although hidden from the main road, as you drive up its a little garden oasis. The rooms were very nice and spacious. The staff was nice and helpful.

We had a great time at the Explorer's Inn. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. The lodge was a nice place to relax. The food was delicious and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We loved the boat ride to get to the Inn. Our guide Raul kept us busy exploring the rainforest and the surrounding area. Everything was well planned and organized.

The location in Miraflores was perfect. We were able to walk and explore. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good .
