Kimkim Trip Reviews for Peru

The breakfasts and staff were very good. Unfortunately, the accommodations left quite a lot to be desired. The room was very cramped, had no windows or other means of ventilation, and was way too warm at night. There was no room for unpacking luggage. The bathroom smelled of sewage. The hot water was unreliable. And, the soap and shampoo dispensers remained empty, despite our requests that they be refilled. The building has a beautiful interior, but we would opt for a Motel 6 over such an uncomfortable facility.

Beautiful rustic hotel with great staff. Unreliable hot water and no bathroom ventilation.

Beautiful view, great staff, good restaurant, comfortable room. More modern than our other accommodations while in Peru.

The accommodations were comfortable, and the locations was convenient. There was no electricity or hot water the first night.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Close to all the in-town attractions. Very friendly staff.

Ceci was a great guide. The tour was very informative, and we got to try quite a lot of different foods. Most of the food was prepared in front of us with the chefs explaining the process as they went. Barranco is beautiful. A must-do tour.

good hotel, a little far from airport.

The Posada Amazonas Lodge experience is excellent. The rooms is very nature. Food and staff are excellent. Our guide is super good.

This hotel is very nice. Both breakfast and dinner are excellent.

This hotel experience is far beyond our expectations. if possible, we would give 6 stars.

This hotel is OK. We understand this is the backup choice since we could not et Palacio del Inka. As 3 stars hotel, it is a place to sleep. This location is not bad, next to Palacio del Inka.

good experience. The guide was able to point out the various animals on the side of the river.

hotel, food, staff and guide are all excellent.

All the activities are arranged based on your own preference and capabilities. The activities we choose are excellent and fit our expectation.

Departure arrangement is customed based on the flight. All the staff is professional, friendly.

Great location and stunning views of the river. Elevator smelled like mold / mildew so we used the stairs, thankfully we were on the 3rd floor. We had a massage at the lower level of the hotel which was a little sketchy (room seemed unfinished and they could do more to protect modesty). We had to ask 3 times for additional towels and finally just stayed at the front desk until they handed them to us.

Stunning historic hotel that was beautifully appointed with lovely community spaces in a natural environment (with games and tea, water). The breakfast was the best on the trip - with full buffet and order off the menu. We enjoyed a lovely yoga class on site. Location was ideal, in the center of the city.

This was a quick overnight for flying out. Only 1.5 miles from the airport but took like 45 min to get there bc of the traffic and screwed up roadways. We had to leave at 4:30am and asked if we could take breakfast to-go and they were militant about not allowing us to take any food away (despite having our own containers) and only allowed us to take a piece of fruit and coffee.

Beautiful hotel with fascinating antiques throughout. We loved drinks at the quaint bar, and morning coffee on the terrace. Breakfast was delicious. We were so grateful to have filtered water stations on each floor which made it easy to stay hydrated which was so important for us to enjoy our stay.

Beautiful historic hotel but disappointed in customer service. Lovely room that accommodated our family of 4 very comfortably. Excellent breakfast. We loved cozy bar/ community room on the first night. We were disappointed to see the room closed on the second night (for maintenance). Unfortunately the hot tub was non-operational which limited the amenities available on the gorgeous grounds. With no hot tub and no community room, they missed an opportunity to "made it right" by providing a fire pit for guests as an alternative gathering spot. Despite us asking about it, they did not seem interested (although fire pit was available for sale- outrageously priced at 1 bundle of wood for $25USD for only 1 hour). We asked for their assistance in calling a taxi but they did not know how to do this or didn't want to be bothered. Lastly, with an early morning departure, we were frustrated they did not allow us to take breakfast food to go, but did give us some dry snacks and bottle of water. Staff seemed to hide behind a language barrier and just didn't seem motivated or interested in providing a good customer experience.

Excellent experience overall. Marino was so accommodating (helped us with a pharmacy trip), was friendly and engaging throughout the experience. Restaurant was great because we could taste a wide range of authentic Peruvian food.

We loved our time exploring Cusco for 2 reasons: first, bc it was the summer solstice festival and second bc our guide coordinated Rosaura (girl from the alpaca farm) to be able to join us for the day. We toured the city with her and took her to lunch - she was an absolute joy to be with and for my kids to have a real cultural exchange.

Exceptional experience, loved the market and the city. Best part of the trip was the alpaca farm and shop. We could have spent all day there petting the animals and getting to know the charming locals.

Train ride was a lovely experience in and of itself! Exploring Machu Picchu with EJ was mind blowing and very memorable.

Our driver Rafael was great and made it a fun drive (albiet a long one) with soft 80's music and engaging conversation. Abraham (lead instructor) and the other instructors were fabulous - so sweet and accommodating.

We loved this - the traditional meal experience was so culturally enriching (and delicious). The welcome cocktail was so good that we ordered another round. Such a lovely and peaceful experience, we didn't want to leave.

Incredible experience, breathtaking views, but it was high exertion, very challenging physically (and we're all fairly fit).

Amazing and best experience I have had so far

Was an experience I have never had before. Will always remember this night under the stars.

Loved the zip line experience

Great entertainment on train and loved the scenic route

In a good location. Easy walk to Miraflores places of interests. Lots of good restaurants around. The breakfast was good. Dinner so-so. Comfortable, spacious rooms.

Lovely experience in the middle of nowhere. The walking tours were good. Carlos was our guide. He was patient, friendly, and answered our questions. Some of the walks were quite long. We had a long boat ride in the mid day heat which wasn’t that great, and weren’t prepared for.

Good breakfast. Located at the top of a hill, so was a climb up and down from town centre. Concierge was helpful.

The rooms were spacious but cold. Nice warm showers. Quite basic

Beautiful hotel. Had a lovely and warm indoor pool, great breakfast.

Lovely heritage hotel. Right in the middle of the town square

Lovely hotel. Warm rooms and hot showers. Strong smell of gas from the fires In the foyer.

The salt flats were an amazing experience. Our guide and driver were good. Reliable, knowledgeable and overall good.

Sylvia our guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English. Felt rushed though as she covered a lot of ground.

It was an enjoyable tour, but felt quite rushed.

LATAM air reliable and comfortable The guides who met us and brought us to h th e office to unpack were friendly and helpful. Bus ride through town was good.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English well. Sometimes alittle too much info.

Our guide was patient, and always aware of safety. Especially since I wasn’t so confident on the bike. Overall fun activity.

Amazing train ride. Didn’t feel like 10hrs. We had a great trip. So glad we did this.

The floating island of Uros tour was really touristy. But was good to help out the islanders by purchasing some of their products.

It had an on-site restaurant and had family room accommodations. It had a water filtered filling station, and that was nice to use, so we didn't have to buy bottled water. I would highly recommend it, and the beds were comfy. centrally located near the Plaza de Armas

We loved this place. It was in a great little neighborhood that was a nice walk from the main square and allowed us to experience the local feel a little more.

This was a wonderful little place with quiet and comfortable rooms. Wish we could have stayed more than one night. They had a lovely little courtyard that we enjoyed immensely.

Very nice accommodations, but we had a lot of street noise that made it a little harder to relax and sleep here

Such a special and beautiful place. We really enjoyed our stay here. They have such beautiful grounds and it was so peaceful here.

Great service. Need to be made aware of the fact that your room is completely open to the outside in addition to the bathroom. There was an animal that came into our room in the middle of the night which was scary. If you are into this, the go for it. It was still a good experience and we met lots of nice travellers there.

Nice hotel and great location. However there is no central heating system and there is only a radiator in the room so it was quite chilly.

We did not see the birds doing the clay licks which was disappointing. We tried twice but were told that another location might have been more promising/guarunteed.

Táquile island was not worth the two hour boat ride there and back. It was very similar to things we had already seen and there was no significantly different activity there. Would rather have gone in the city or done a different activity.

Amazing experience! Did not feel like ten hours, lots of good entertainment and food. Service was great and the views were stunning

The Sonesta was great! The staff was very friendly and helpful! The location was perfect! Within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the main square. The breakfast buffet was great with a variety of dishes including local dishes! I highly recommend the Sonesta!

The location of the Inti Punku was perfect. A very short walk from the train station.

Our tour guide was very informative and friendly.

Wow! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sites! The train to Aguas Calientes was great!

We really loved staying at Las Qolqas EcoResort Ollantaytambo. We're seasoned travelers who've stayed in various permanent tented camps, and this location was fun and beautiful, nestled in the mountains. It was an excellent choice because it felt secluded and peaceful, away from the busyness of the tourist town. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and serene accommodation experience.

The Short Inca Trail tour to Machu Picchu was a must-do on our trip. We had heard beforehand that the hike was challenging, and it indeed was, but it was absolutely fabulous. Hiking into Machu Picchu provided a unique and rewarding experience away from the crowds, making it very worthwhile. We were glad to take the bus back, but the hike was a perfect way to immerse ourselves in the environment.

The full-day trip from Lima to the Paracas and Ballestas Islands, along with the desert adventure, was quite an enjoyable experience overall. Initially, we were hesitant due to the long drive, but the kids were eager to go. The Ballestas Islands were nice but didn't stand out particularly. Surprisingly, the desert oasis, part of the trip which I was initially less excited about, turned out to be incredibly fun and the highlight of the day.

Horseback riding to Devil's Balcony from Cusco was great, and it's something we frequently enjoy on our trips. It's such a wonderful way to explore and enjoy the natural environment while getting some activity into our schedule. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

The Lima Food Tour was amazing and a highlight of our trip. We did the evening tour, which allowed us to sample some fantastic dishes. We started with the best ceviche we tasted on our trip and continued on to a place near ancient ruins offering amazing tapas. Ending at a bar, we experienced something other than the 'pisco sours', which was refreshing since we'd had plenty by then.

Good location! Very nice and clean. They had an outdoor bar to end the evening.

What an incredible experience! It’s a must when you visit Peru! Dune buggy rides, sand tubing and sand boarding are all part of the experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We returned from glamping in Huacachina to the airport hotel. We are so happy we were so close to the airport. We had a morning flight to Cusco. Traffic is insane in Lima.

You MUST visit this resort when staying in the Sacred Valley. It was incredible! The resort is beautiful inside and out. Do yourself a favor and visit the spa. I had the 90 minute Kallpa massage with Marilia. It was the absolute best massage I have ever had! Don’t skip this one.

The location of this hotel was great! There is no heat/air, but it wasn’t too bad in June. The rooftop breakfast was nice.

This hotel was okay. It was clean and well-kept. There is no heat/air. It was quite chilly in June. Fortunately they had a space heater in the room. It was off the beaten path and little difficult to get to. We’d prefer to stay closer to the main plaza.

This is an ABSOLUTE MUST when visiting Peru! The five-hour bus ride from Lima was very comfortable and definitely worth it. The experience includes glamping plus dune buggies, sand tubing, and sand boarding. Do not skip this experience!

Our tour guide was amazing, but I’m going blank on his name. 😕 It was our very first experience. We saw the highlights of Lima. We enjoyed this tour.

We enjoyed our wine tasting and tour of Tacama Winery. The grounds are beautiful. It was the perfect stop before boarding a five-hour bus ride back to Lima. Highly recommend.

Amazing lodge. Best staff. Delicious food. Wonderful accommodations

Perfect location, loved the rooftop bar. Good room size.

Loved this hotel, the ambiance was amazing.

Loved this hotel, I wish we had an extra night stay here.

Hotel looks tired and need of renovation. Rooms were spacious. The view from the room is awesome.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Loved every bit of our stay here. Unique and adventurous experience. The pods were clean and not as cold as I thought they would be. The hot tubs had the best views and were very clean. The climb to the pods was exhilarating thrilling and the views were spectacular. Best breakfast and dinner made by the friendly staff. The Zip line experience was out of this world, the best ever. Everything about Starlodge was awesome can’t fault anything. All the staff were amazing.

We loved the hotel from the first step we took inside. Unfortunately, we arrived very late and left very early so did not get to experience the hotel, which was a big shame.

Beautiful riverside hotel.

Sue the guide was amazing, very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this food tour, good quality of food including Pisco sours, Ceviche and other Peruvian food.

Compared to our Lima food tour, this was an okay experience. I didn't feel like the food tour quite lived up to my expectations.

Beautiful experience, stunning landscape. Saw loads of Alpaca and Llamas, very scenic route.

Unique cultural and natural experience. Enjoyed our hike and lunch. Uros the floating island was amazing, very interesting to know how the Uros people live.

Loved it! Very scenic breathtaking views. Comfortable and luxurious experience. The entertainment was awesome, we danced to live music and had loads of fun. Food was also good.

Sacred Valley had stunning scenery. Picturesque valley.

Stayed at Star Lodge not Skylodge. Unique experience, highly recommend.

Nice to watch te Pachamanca cooking, the food was delicious. Very interesting to see how they separated the vegetarian food. Beautiful place.

We did the 2 day trek, 7hr hike. It was challenging but definitely achievable. Our tour guide claudio was amazing, very helpful and supportive. Once you reached the sun gate you get this feeling of accomplishment and the view is just out of this world. Truly a magical experience.

We arrived Machu Pichu at sunrise, magical experience. We had to wait 45 minutes for the sunrise but it was definitely worth the wait. Being at Machu Pichu was an awe feeling. Such a calm place, one of the best new wonders of the world.

Watching the Condors fly was amazing, the whole experience was incredible. Very scenic route. Had a fantastic day.

Scared valley via Ferrata, best experience ever. The hike was amazing, the breathtaking views and it felt safe with the guides.

Rooms were dark, small and had windows opening to the ailes of hotel meaning no fresh air. No amenities almost. Not a 5 star hotel at all!

Service was amazing at this hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and we would highly recommend this hotel to our friends.

Location of this hotel and breakfast was awesome!
