Kimkim Trip Reviews

Great location. Very spacious. Kids loved having both indoor and outdoor pools. Buffet breakfast was among the best we had. Decor was felt very over the top and gaudy - but otherwise, enjoyed this hotel.

Hotel was very spacious and comfortably accomodated our family of four. Really liked how it was close to hiking trails and had 2 big pools for our family to choose from. The kids especially appreciated the pool that had sand to mimic the beach. The decor felt a little bit gaudy / overdone. Also, if you're looking to be closer to the beaches or to the main town, may not be the best location as it requires a drive. Least favorite part of this hotel was the food and service at the restaurant. We had a buffet dinner the first night, and the food was not very good and overpriced. Staff also during dinner were not particularly friendly. Buffet breakfast was decent, but again, I would have expected more from such a nice hotel and for the price.

Favorite hotel during our stay! Plenty of space for a family of four. Very nice accomodations. Centrally located, easy to walk to many of the main tourist attractions. Also close to many restaurants. One complaint though around safety. One of the tiles on the wall next to the bathtub fell off the wall during our stay. Fortunately, no one was in the bathtub at the time, however, it could have been a major issue as our kids were often using the bathtub and could have led to a serious injury. Appreciated how they had onsite breakfast

Location is great, especially for first time in Lisbon. Right in the heart of Biaxa. Very walkable to many main attractions. Lots of space for a family of 4. Highly recommend! Just a note, may be challenging for people with limited mobility, as there is only 1 very skinny elevator servicing the building.

Great restaurant to try the Franchesca!

One of my favorite meals in Lisbon! Definitely get the paella - delicious and very large serving (the 1 person order was enough for my wife and I to share) Make a reservation or be prepared to wait in line

Great time to explore on our own. Appreciate the recommendations from the Across Portugal team

Our of our favorite activities! Loved how hands on it was ! Was great to be able to make our own souveniers from Portugal!

Overall was a nice overview of Lisbon. Did feel a bit rushed compared to some of our other tours. Guide was very friendly, but sounds like some of the information she shared was not entirely correct (especially after discussing/meeting with other tour guides on this trip). That said, was a nice way to get around Lisbon and navigate all the steep hills and see the main sights from the outside.

Great activity! Kids really enjoyed being able to drive along the coast and see the caves. They also loved being able to jump off the boat into the ocean!

Transfer was fine. Process of picking up the rental car took a little longer than expected. Pick-up station is small, with only 1 desk. Since there were 2 other people ahead of us, took us a while to get check in and get our car

Great experience with a local guide! Ricardo was really good at taking this at the pace we needed for our family. Very knowledable tour guide. Appreciated the individualized attention. Suggest you confirm which palaces you will be going to. We visited the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira which were both great. Kids especially liked Auinta da Regaleira since they were able to run around the grounds and do more exploring and it didn't feel as crowded as Pena Palace. Just make note though that we did not get to visit the Moorish Castle, National Palace or Mosserate Palace - we were ok with that, but just need to make sure you're ok with not seeing those as well.

Great all day experience! Ivo, our driver, was an excellent guide! The boat ride was so much fun for the kids. And the private tour/tasting/lunch at Quinta da Pachea was excellent!

This tour was just ok. We had already done a whole day tour in the Douro valley the day before, and so this tour did not seem as impressive after the Douro valley. The Port here also was not as good as what we had in the Douro valley. If you're not going to the Duoro valley, then I would recommend. If you are going to Duoro valley, you can skip this.

This was a really nice tour. Our guide Sara was very friendly and knowledable. Loved that she was a local and able to give us her personal stories/insights. Also enjoyed that she was able to tailor the tour to what our family/kids were able to do. Really nice overview of Porto

Great activity! Very hands on! Easy to follow and understand. Great opportunity for the kids to do a cooking class.

Great location for views. The sky seemed to go on forever. The staff was very kind. The restaurant was good.

Great location and the restaurant was very good. The rooms allowed for a great view and we were treated to a beautiful sunset.

Room was fine but breakfast was lacking. The coffee was horrible!

Great location and easy parking. Breadfast was very good.

This was a very enjoyable walk even in the rain. You walk on a boardwalk and then over rocks. Very interesting sights along the way.

We had lunch in the restaurant. The food was great and the atmosphere was a fun experience.

Unique experience. Very interesting.

Great waterfall to view from top and bottom.

This was fabulous. We had a beautiful sunny day to sit and watch the puffins flying in and out over the water. We also enjoyed the volcano museum. We had a great lunch at GOTT.

Very nice walk and beautiful views.

The zodiac boat ride in the lagoon was cancelled due to extreme wind conditions. We loved Diamond Beach. It was very different from what we are used to and the floating icebergs were beautiful. We also saw a sea lion!

It was very rainy and windy when we got there. The view was still great since it was our first stop.

Gorgeous location and view. Wonderful breakfast and we really enjoyed watching the birds on the lake. We saw a beautiful sunrise while staying here.

Nice hotel, great restaurant ( loved the arctic char) and staff was friendly.

A wonderful hotel to begin our adventure. The room was beautiful, location was great, and the breakfast was fabulous!

The staff and landscaping around this hotel is impeccable, they have two pools that are beautiful. The restaurant in bar area is very nice, and the staff was very attentive.

The guide was amazing. She did a fabulous job, the staff at the lodge were very attentive, and the food was good. For being out in the middle of nowhere, there is absolutely nothing that you could want for that they didn’t have. Exceptional job.

The place was beautiful, the food was excellent, and the staff was incredible, the room was huge

Talking with someone who lives in the village and lives there every day and hearing their perspective on life was really interesting, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get off the beaten path and actually speak to a local and see how the tribes live, it’s very one on one but well worth it

This was super fun, and the guides were beyond helpful, they catered to all of our needs and made sure everything was safe and in control, they helped in all aspects of the trip. The only thing I would recommend is if you’re going during the winter months make sure you bundle up because it is cold up there and we did not have enough clothing one But again their staff was great

This is definitely something worth doing, it’s kind of off the beaten path and takes you in an area. You would never plan on going. But it was great to interact with the local people and see what really is going on. I would highly recommend this.

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!

Well organized - safety conscious good weather helped thoughtful people

Very pleasant - far better than Blue lagoon good conversations

Awesome tour / great guide well worth it

We were led by enchanting French farm girl. Riding operation was well staffed and organizrd. But the area we rode through was not particularly interesting

Another fantastic recommendation from Clemens and the team! We absolutely loved this hotel and would happily stay here again. It was incredibly family-friendly, and our kids had a blast. The pool was a huge hit, and the arcade machine in the room was such a fun and unexpected touch. The bunk beds were another favorite—they made the stay extra special for our kids. The rooms were spacious and worked perfectly for our family of four. The views were absolutely stunning, and Wengen itself is such a charming town. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The only minor drawback was that there isn't air conditioning, so it was a bit warm during our summer visit. Fortunately, the hotel provided fans, which helped make it somewhat comfortable. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, and we'd love to come back in the winter to experience Wengen in a completely different season!

This is a modern apartment-style stay where everything—from check-in to guest services—is handled online, so there isn't a traditional front desk. I was a little hesitant about that at first, but it ended up being an awesome experience. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of everything—and the restaurant/bar downstairs was a huge bonus. We enjoyed several great breakfasts and excellent coffee there, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our trip. The property has a fun, hip, and modern vibe with lots of character, which made it feel unique compared to a standard hotel. The only downside was that the A/C struggled a bit during the extreme heat we experienced, but it wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise excellent stay. A special shoutout to Clemens and the team—they absolutely knocked it out of the park with this recommendation!

Great hotel. Large, clean, modern rooms. Great location near the river and close to the train station. Excellent breakfast buffet. Would highly recommend.

This was a fantastic tour and a great way to experience Zurich beyond the modern city center. It introduced us to the historic parts of the city and helped us appreciate Zurich's rich history in a way we definitely would have missed on our own. Without this tour, I think our impression of Zurich would have been that it was just another modern city. Instead, we came away with a much deeper understanding of the city's character, its history, and even Swiss culture as a whole. One of the best parts of the experience was having a knowledgeable local guide. It was wonderful to be able to ask questions about what it's really like to live in Zurich and Switzerland. Those personal insights made the tour feel authentic and memorable.

This was an amazing travel day, and everything was perfectly arranged by Clemens and the team. The train ride was smooth, scenic, and one of the highlights of our trip. The luggage transfer service was absolutely worth it. It was so nice to relax on the train without having to worry about hauling our suitcases from place to place. We traveled with just two small backpacks, and our luggage was waiting for us when we arrived at our destination. It made the entire journey so much more enjoyable. A big thank you to Clemens for recommending this service! The boat ride on Lake Brienz was absolutely beautiful and the perfect complement to the train journey. Between the stunning scenery and the stress-free travel, this route exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this itinerary to anyone planning a trip to Switzerland!

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.

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.

Service, charm, food, drink, all amazing. Boys thought we walked into Hogwarts. Not much more I can say about that!

Great location. Didn't have the same charm as the other hotels.

Just the charm. Lobby was a great place to relax and have a drink. Staff was really friendly.

Historical elegance, great service and food and location. Concierge was great at understanding what we were looking for and guiding us to more authentic dining experiences!

Can't skip. Even with kids. This was their favorite activity of the trip

Just fantastic food.

Unfortunately missed this as the it closed at 4 PM

The guide made this enjoyable. Learned so much

A museum that kids will actually love and want to go back to!

Guide was amazing. Experience was a good work out while enjoying the amazing scenery! Oh, the apple cider, amazing!

Sucha beautiful city. Maria was an amazing tour guide. Weather was rough but she made it fun!

Fun and exhilerating! The guides know what they're doing.

Everything. The transport there, the excitement of the ziplining, and then the serenity of the bike ride.

Beautiful spots to visit. Guide also was amazing

Just a beautiful city and to learn the histoty was amazing. I wish I remembered our guides name. She was exceptional.

Wonderful place, the flying squirrel demo and tours were fantastic!

Our guide was wonderful and flexible - she adjusted the plans based on our preferences. She was knowledgable and warm. We had a great time!

Enjoyable experience. We had a very spacious and clean room, staff was helpful and kind. Breakfast was tasty and has a good selection. The location is a little bit out of town, but easy to get a taxi.

This was an okay stay: nothing special, nothing terrible. The rooms are a little outdated, and our shower and tap water was brown. Staff seems a little uninterested, but in the end helpful. Food was okay. In conclusion: good for one night.

A very relaxing, beautiful stay. The room was spacious and clean. We had a babbler room right on the river bank, so great views too! The buffet dinner is good - quality food and variation. Breakfast was maybe a little limited/small. The staff is super helpful and accommodating. We did the Moremi game drive with them, and our guide NT was the best guide we had on the whole trip. He was incredibly kind, extremely knowledgeable and just overall a fun human to spend the day with.

We were sad to be only staying one night! Such a wonderful guesthouse: great staff, good food and beautiful room!

Definitely the most gorgeous stay of our trip. You feel like it's just you and the Waterberg Plateau when you're in your room/chalet. You can't see anything or anyone else. We also loved the big windows to maximize the views. Staff was super attentive and kind. We did a horseback ride with Nelson - such a great guide. Not only did he give a lot of explanation about the area, he also taught us how to ride better. We had dinner at the lodge (a set menu), and it was probably one of our favorite dinners on the trip. They also were very accommodating with dietary restrictions.

Not much to be excited about, except the waterhole. The rooms need renovated, the restaurant needs better chefs, and the property needs better staff. We arrived (early!) for the afternoon game drive that was booked for us, only to get told it was overbooked and we couldn't do it. All they offered was a spot on the next afternoon's game drive. It wasn't until we contacted our travel agent that they came up with a better offer to compensate for their error. We were "lucky" to be staying two nights, but if we only had one night, we would have been out of luck! It's nice to be able to stay inside the park, and seeing the animals at the waterhole (especially at night) is amazing, but the rest is just bad.

Beautiful environment and fun lay-out of the buildings. Our room was a little small, but it still had everything we needed. The dinner buffet was good - variation and good quality food. We didn't have lunch included, so paid for it on the spot (there aren't really any lunch options nearby) and thought that was a little expensive. We did the ephemeral river drive with them - knowledgeable, attentive guide and overall fun experience.

Such a cute place! Great location, within walking distance from the center. Staff was extremely helpful, answering all of our questions and helping with bookings. Clean and spacious room - one of our faves on the trip.

Quite a distance from the national park, but the lodge is still in a beautiful location, so you don't even realize it. Staff is wonderful, and the food is great. It was our favorite buffet food of the trip. The lodge offers (self-guided) hiking trails and guided activities. We did the scorpion/stargazing tour - very cool!
