In Bromo, Teguh was an amazing guide and loves Indonesia! My son, Sunny and I enjoyed the time with him and the visit to Bromo and surroundings.

Today our guide Yanto at blue flame was also amazing. He stayed with us the whole hike up and down and was a delight to be with. Would recommend him as a permanent guide for anyone speaks English or needing English speaking guides - would recommend same with Teguh as well - both of them were great for us.

And our drivers ebot and Pedro were great as well.

This was the first time I used KimKim/mytripology. I worked with two different planners—Priscilla and Jessica. Together we created a lovely itinerary for Bali and Komodo. Unfortunately my airline was delayed and we had to cancel the first day. While they were able to rearrange and reschedule most activities, the first night hotel was not willing to give me a refund. Kimkim offered a dinner as compensation. A nice gesture but surely a hotel given two days notice should refund room rate. Also we had booked a high end liveaboard boat in Komodo. Apparently the boat company decided to cancel out prepaid reservation in favor of a private charter. Again KimKim scrambled and was able to get us on another boat (of lower quality), but it made me wonder about their vetting quality of tour operators. We did get the monetary difference refunded. All that said, our online daily contact, Deta, was very polite and responsive and quite helpful along the way. I would give the whole experience 4.5 stars.

Dear Jennifer,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about Priscilla, Jessica, and especially Deta. We are delighted to hear that, despite some unexpected challenges, you were able to enjoy your Bali and Komodo journey overall.

Regarding the hotel refund, hotel cancellation policies in Indonesia can often differ from those in the United States . Unfortunately, despite our efforts and the advance notice provided, the hotel was unable to grant a refund for the missed night. As a gesture of goodwill, we arranged a complimentary dinner of similar value to help offset the loss and show our commitment to your experience.

As for the Komodo liveaboard situation, this was an unfortunate operational issue at the destination level rather than a reflection of the overall quality of the tour operator itself. While the cancellation was entirely beyond our control, we understand your concerns and immediately worked to secure the best available alternative while also ensuring that the price difference was refunded. We recognize that this was not the experience you originally booked, and for that we are truly sorry.

We greatly appreciate your understanding, your constructive feedback, and the trust you placed in both mytripology and Kimkim. Feedback such as yours helps us continue improving our services.

Once again, please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconveniences you encountered, and thank you for allowing us to be part of your Indonesia adventure. We hope to have the opportunity to assist you again in the future and provide an even more seamless travel experience.

Every airport arrival, hotel transfer, guide pickup, etc. was seamless. She even secured a complimentary couples spa package in Bali and and an upgrade to a suite in Labuan Bajo. Items like the Raffles LiveAboard boat stay and Ceci dancing were unknown to me at the start of planning. The guides were all very good an a couple were excellent.

An important part of the success was having a constant WhatsApp contact "handler" named Deta. Deta sent updates, photos of pickup assistants, flight check-in links, and answered all tour questions. When there was a port closure threatening our ship sailing she created alternate plans, sending updates as needed (but the weather improved just in time to go back to original plan!). When our flight home (which they had not booked) was cancelled I asked the Indonesia team to find us alternate flights as I was having difficulty working 12 hours away from my home agency. They booked us avoiding the closed airports and got us home under difficult circumstances. Much appreciated.

I look forward to exploring another tour in the future with MyTripology.

We had a nice stay at this hotel. Our agency upgraded us to a junior suite which was fantastic. The hotel pool was pleasant and right by the beach. We were there in the off season and it was rather dead and the breakfast experience was initially disappointing. By the time we left there were many more guests and a full breakfast buffet--a welcome change. The staff was uniformly courteous and helpful. The location was OK. You could walk into the town center in 25 minutes if you wanted to. A few mini marts and a nice coffee/ice cream shop were within 10 minutes walk. They arranged taxi rides for a modest fee. There were no free shuttles. My only compliant: the exercise room was the poorest condition I have ever seen in any hotel--even small hotels. Broken equipment, uninviting ambience. no towels or water. Really embarrassing for someone who looks for this amenity.

The Visit to Tegallalang Rice Terrace was visually beautiful initially, but turned into more of a tourist enclave with zip lines, swings, and numerous photo ops which overshadowed the natural beauty of the terraces. Our guide seemed to think we wanted to indulge in the amusement park-like activities rather than immerse in the natural environment. We would have preferred to walk in the rice paddies. I'd suggest that guides inquire about clients' preferences beforehand. It certainly had its fun moments, though.

Watch Caci Dance Performance

The Caci Dance Performance was a big surprise and a pleasant one at that. We initially thought it would just be another tribal dance, but it turned out to be an intimate cultural experience. Being the only duo on the tour, hosted by someone perhaps from the tribe, we were introduced to customs in an engaging way, even being welcomed into the community with a white rooster. The ceremony, the dances including the delightful rice harvest dance, and participating in some of the routines were fascinating. Sharing stories and drinks afterwards made it feel warm and personal. This is perfect for someone interested in true cultural immersion.

It’s especially lovely to know that you enjoyed the diversity of experiences we included, and that unique moments like the Raffles LiveAboard stay and the Caci dance became memorable highlights.

I was surprised to first see trash and trash barrels upon arrival at the driveway. This could be mitigated with a little gated trash stand which I saw on a short walk. It negatively colored my first impression of the place. Because of very loud night creatures it was impossible to sleep without earplugs. I only got into the pool after heavy rain. Before that the water looked a little murky.

We did inform the house staff that we found rat droppings on the stairs and upstairs hallway. Also, two times a kitchen garbage can was knocked over, probably by the squirrel we saw.
