Noga did a fantastic job of planning our itinerary and refining it after we decided to see more of Iceland. We changed the size of our rental car just days before our trip and Noga and Nick were both very responsive within minutes of our request. Kimkim really felt like a concierge travel service because of their immediate response time with any questions that we had. The Kimkim app was extremely easy to use while planning the trip and also in Iceland. Our trip was fantastic! Our itinerary took us to so many extraordinary places while keeping in mind our stamina for each activity. For example, after a long overlong flight, our first activity was to a beautiful geothermal spa. Most days had much driving around the Ring Road, but there were stops along the way that left us awestruck. Our hotels were all very comfortable with 1001 Nott and the Glacier Lagoon hotels both being standout properties. Our tours were led by guides who were both extremely knowledgeable and also friendly and kind. Our Katla Cave and Glacier Walk tours were amazing. The tours physically challenged me but each of our guides took the time to personally help me. I would 1,000 percent recommend Kimkim to help navigate an amazing trip. It was a vacation that we will never forget!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel 1001 Nott
Egilsstadir

This hotel is a very beautiful property with terrific staff and excellent food. It is located close to town, but feels private and remote. The views are spectacular. It was a calm and peaceful oasis after driving the Ring Road. Highly recommend!

Authenticity & Character
Our room faced the lake and had floor to ceiling sliding glass doors and a beautiful view.
Location
Beautiful lakefront property.
Staff
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the hotel and the area.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Our room felt like a tiny cabin in the woods. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Hótel Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon Hotel
Hofn

This hotel is a beautiful property. The food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner. It felt cozy even though it was a large property. I especially liked the comfy lobby decor. We wished we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the outdoor hot tubs and the wellness room with comfy loungers and an infrared spa.

Authenticity & Character
The decor felt upscale but rustic at the same time.
Location
The hotel feels like it is part of the landscape.
Staff
Front desk was very friendly and helpful.
