Kimkim Trip Reviews

Just wow! This hotel was insane. We stayed in one of the villas with it's own pool. Loved all the staff.. they were so kind!

Perfect location, gracious staff and beautiful room!

Beautiful hotel with magnificent view

Good location, nice rooms but a bit small

So absolutely beautiful !

This hotel caters to Chinese national tourists and feels more like China than S. Korea. Most patrons and staff speak Mandarin Chinese and the breakfast buffet also catered more to a Chinese palette than showcasing authentic Korean cuisine. The flashiness of a Vegas hotel, but without the actual need of such. It appears as an impostor on an island that doesn't need it. Wish we had stayed elsewhere.

So beautiful with great amenties. Highlight is the breakfast buffet!

How special to have a full cabin in the rainforest?! Every need is considered & the staff does a fabulous job at making sure you are aware of everything - timing, requirements, options...

This room was massive with breathtaking views on 2 sides!

The staff here is exceptionally friendly. They have 24/7 drinkable water, on-tap in the lobby. The breakfast was delicious & fresh. The rooms were clean & provided things I didn't know I needed (like a towel to clean my hiking boots). They heard me mention I was cold so showed me how to work the room heater & showed me the extra blanket.

Great location away from crowds and loved the beach bar area and views.

Such a beautiful setting and such personal service! We loved the care put in to the breakfast and the research Igor put in for what to do.

Sadly couldn't go to blue caves due to winds but loved our other spots, especially our lunch stop in Komiza. The restaurant recommended was our best meal of the trip!

This was SO MUCH FUN. We loved it so much, we bought a tool to make pasta on amazon once we got home :)

Wow - this was the perfect way to start our vacation while we were getting over jet lag. It was relaxing, the sites were spectacular, and our guides made sure our experience was nothing but the best. Light snacks and drinks were a fun bonus. Swimming in the ocean was rejuvinating. We enjoyed our time walking around the island and taking the Tram to the top as well.

This was a definite highlight of our trip! Our private guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much from her!

Such a charming hotel! The hotel manager Kim met us on arrival and was attentive to our every need, such as dinner reservations. The rooms are beautiful in the old Dutch style.

This is the ultimate safari experience if you want to be in a very small group and get a lot of attention. The camp managers Courtney and Brett (also the guide) were unbelievably kind, informative, and flexible. The game rides were the best I have done. The lodgings are first class and each meal was amazing. It was so quiet and peaceful in the camp. We felt blessed in the first few days, so much that the rest of South Africa had a lot to live up to!

The V&A is exquisite. Every luxury one could imagine.

Overall a fine hotel with fine rooms that met our needs, even breakfast was fine. It is located near shopping and restaurants.

Very nice hotel with a stylish lobby! It is located in the middle of downtown and near shopping and restaurants. The hotel is also next to a grocery store. The room was comfortable and we had plenty of room to move around (the largest room of the 5 hotels we stayed at during a 2-week trip to Japan). The breakfast had many traditional Japanese dishes, with plenty of options for travelers. There are laundry machines and a smart tv in the room so you can see availability in the laundry room without leaving your room.

We loved staying here! My family of 3 stayed here twice during a trip to Tokyo for a total of 6 nights - by far our favorite hotel during our trip to Japan. The most comfortable beds and enough room to move around. Great breakfast. Great location - Within walking distance to the metro, convenience stores, and a coffee shop. Plenty of laundry machines and an onsen on the top floor.

Great location! Great breakfast! Great room! A favorite from a recent trip to Seoul! Highly recommend!

Arrive with an appetite! The guide took us to 3 locations using the metro and we tried a variety of Osaka food! Our favorite was the end of the evening when we tried Osaka style savory pancakes (pancake is slightly misleading since it made me think of US style pancakes- these are made with shredded cabbage)

The deer park is impressive- there are 1000 deer roaming the area. While the deer are aggressive and easily overwhelming, if you move further into the park you can feed single deer without fear of being nipped at or bitten. The stone lanterns and shrines scattered among the park are impressive.

The monkey park is a bit of a hike up the side of a mountain (stairs and step walk). Once you reach the top, the monkeys are close to you! Our guide knew the best time to arrive, so we beat the crowd, but it got rather crowded before too long. The bamboo grove is near the monkey park. What a sight to see! Perhaps one of my favorites because once you move beyond the tourists the grove is very serene and peaceful.

A great way to experience Kyoto! Our guide, Zumi, was phenomenal! He took us throughout Kyoto, using the metro, the bus, and even a taxi to get us to each location. He took us further into the locations so we could see more than most tourists.

We had 2 guides for the day - which was a lifesaver when moving through the crowds of people and traveling to multiple locations. They certainly took us to the most amazing spots in Tokyo!

A fantastic way to see Seoul! We started with an option to rent traditional clothes for part of the day (watching the changing of the guards and wandering through the museum). Our guide, Jake, was amazing!! He shared a lot of knowledge about the customs of Korea - which made the experience richer. He suggested a great location for Korean Bulgogi and then took us to a few shopping areas. Jake to our interests into account and customized the rest of our itinerary.

A highlight for our family trip to Japan! Only a few parts of the river had fast flowing water (just a few splashes). The guides shared information about the area and made the trip even more memorable.

What a cool way to experience Tokyo!! The route we followed was fun and the guide took photos which really added to the experience.

3 separate activities: tea ceremony with kimonos was a family favorite! The experience of getting dressed in kimonos was a rush! Learning about the tea ceremony was a treat! Samarai Ninja experience started at one location in town - where we practiced throwing stars and blowing darts. Probably an activity more for smaller children. The museum is located across town - a 10 to 15 minute walk. We accidentally started at the museum and walked to the Ninja Experience, so we did not return to the museum afterwards.

Fabulous botiquebhotel with fun quirky local decor. From our warm welcome to all the help each day with our questions and luggage I highly recommend this hotel. The grounds are lovely, pool options great after a day touring, and the rooms so spacious and comfortable! Breakfast was lively and so good!

Beyond our expectations! The luxury, set up, facilities and decor are fabulous but the privacy and personal accommodations for only 8 made the experience perfect for our travelling group of friends. Staff, particularly Cortne and Brett, made it feel like home and expanded our experience tenfold! Food was truly fantastic every single meal. Hats off the the chef team!

Perfect location for exploring the Waterfront. Hotel staff could not be more helpful. Rooms were ample and comfortable. Breakfasts were a full assortment of options! Great stay

Amazing expereince in the Wadi Rum desert at this unique luxury camp. It's a once in a lifetime experience.

Jeane was very accommodating. She got us settled in early and we really appreciated it after a day of travel. Our rooms were clean and the breakfasts were cooked to perfection. The coffee machine was finicky but she got it fixed. Little ways from town, but the walk (30+ min) was nice along the the river (water). One of our group enjoyed the hot tub.

Great place to stay. Very clean and the sheets and towels were so nice. Loved the breakfast!

Great hotel! Very clean and felt high end. Breakfasts were fantastic!

Really quaint hotel. Loved our room, especially the chandelier. Good breakfasts. Easy to catch a bus to all the sites. Very convenient.

LOVED IT!! It is a newer property and you can tell. Everything about it was perfection - our two bedroom room with a pool was amazing. The entire place was perfectly decorated and it was small and just perfect. Not teaming with lots of people. Only 8 villas. The staff and owners are super engaging and clearly want you to fall in love with it - which you absolutely will! You must stay here! And a huge shout out to Walter and Roen - the best tracker and guide we could’ve had. What we saw the animals doing and how close we got - nothing short of life changing!

WHAT A GEM!! It’s hard to even describe how amazing this place was. An old plantation converted into incredible accommodations and a fantastic restaurant. The property as well as the rooms were stunning! Working fireplaces and patios look out onto a pool that looked like it was out of another world. Beautiful flower gardens and chickens. It was so incredible charming. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

The staff were fantastic! Breakfast each morning was so amazing. The location and views were incredible - especially when the skies cleared and we were looking at table mountain and the ocean. Doesn’t get much better than that! The layout of the hotel is a bit off and disjointed but it was nice and the rooms were well appointed and super nice shower.

What an unforgettable experience. Truly a treat and one of a kind experience. Nicki is super gifted and loves to show off her beautiful home, gardens and food with you. The tasting menu was sooo good and it was also very generous portions. She has amazing stories to regale you with. She had a super interesting life so it was so fun to listen to her. She also has a lot of knowledge regarding plants and she has sooo many varieties in her garden. She will have you taste them and experience them. It’s quite a journey she takes you on! A MUST!!

Just wow! The entire day was filled with beauty and fun! The penguins were so fun (and loud!). Our guide, Andrew, was a pro at planning our itinerary and getting us to the sights before the crowds. When we left the penguins it was literally a zoo. When we got there we walked right in and had time to get lots of videos and photos. Same for getting to the Cape of Good Hope. The entire drive along the coast was stunning. I think it’s a must do day trip!

I’ve already shared several other comments on quality and perfection of the game drives. They all were unforgettable for different reasons! The airport is so close and easy that you have plants of time to do a morning drive, shower and eat breakfast before you need to head out. Location is perfect!

Roen and Walter were the BEST. What we experienced during all of our game drives was nothing short of perfection! They are such a great team and know how to find the animals and create unforgettable experiences. We saw everything and the quality of the experiences was something I will never ever forget!

The flight was super easy and our driver was waiting for us at the airport. Our lodging was 15 mins from the airport so that was great. We got there and had time to chill before our late afternoon game drive. We told our guide that we wanted to see rhinos and what did we see on our first drive - 10+ of them!! We also got to see a lion sound asleep after eating too much of a warthog. It was like he was in a coma. We were less than 6 feet away from him.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST!! It is the coolest place ever! Greenhouses, working farm, all kinds of different shops - bakery, coffee, market, ice cream. The list goes on. The property is sooo lovely. You could easily spend an w tire day there. And the tasting was incredible and their tasting boards are crazy delicious and interesting!

See my review as well for the drive to Franschoek since it involved the winery stops which we loved all of them. They were all so different but wonderful. Roy planned an incredible itinerary - highly recommend him!!

A must do while in Cape Town. We got super lucky with the weather and our timing. We didn’t wait in any lines and it was sunny with perfect blue skis and 75 degrees.

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but we liked it anyway and were rewarded with stunning views at the top where the weather was incredible! The views were just breathtaking!

Such a beautiful part of the country. We had no idea. It’s akin to Napa and Sonoma, but I think more beautiful with the mountains ringing it. The wine was great and all of the vineyards were quite different and lovely! And Roy, our guide, was awesome! We really enjoyed spending the day with him!

I am so happy we did this and learned about this history of Cape Town. We got to sample the food, which was awesome, and learned so very much. Our guide was born and raised there and has such passion and love for it - as he should. The architecture and paint are so beautiful. We very much enjoyed it.
