Iceland | Dec 9 - Dec 14, 2022

This trip was everything I hoped it would be. Lisbet was very responsive to our numerous questions and clarifications. Patient and very clear. She accommodated all our requests with ease. We hoped to meet her, but alas she was on vacation when we were on vacation. Good for her! But, I did have a small tremor about her not being available while we were in Iceland. No worries! I left a glove behind on a tour and contacted KimKim. Immediate response! I highly recommend KimKim!

Hotel Review

Hotel Ísland – Spa & Wellness Hotel

Reykjavík

We loved Hotel Island! Note - the pronunciation is “Iceland” or “eslanf”. Not I-land!

Authenticity & Character

Location

We loved NOT being in the “tourist” section of Reykjavík!

Staff

Our staff recognized us and engaged us in authentic conversation.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Apparently we needed a ton of pillows. No problem! The beds were very comfortable.
