Kimkim Trip Reviews

Fantastic location in Kyoto. Very friendly and helpful staff and room was lovely. Breakfast buffet had everything and whole hotel very clean and had a great vibe about it.

Great combination of activities and my wife is still smiling from the experience of wearing a kimono!

A great blend of activities/sights that gave us a great overview of this wonderful city. From visiting fantastic food markets to majestic shrines and spacious parks this day tour was a perfect way to.enjoy Tokyo.

This day took us to some of the main highlights in Kyoto and was superb. Our guide, Yukio, took care of us and we spent the right amount of time at each location and he explained all the attractions. Fantastic day!

This hotel was well located. It was comfortable and had excellent AC which was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint was the only window was on the ceiling so nothing to look at.

Amazing treehouse. Very well appointed rooms. Beautiful surroundings!

Very beautiful. Great location.

Comfortable, great location!

Professional ride back to the airport

Amazing boat ride in!

A highlight of the trip. Amazing hike. So beautiful. And the waterfall was just incredible.

Perfect combination of biking, sites, and history.

Terrific tour including history and sights.

Terrific mix of history and locations.

The best hotel in Saigon! Excellent service! Located adjacent to the mall.

Wow! Excellent service, rooms, and food! Private beach access too!

Excellent service from all staff!

Great food! Friendly staff! Well organized activities.

Very friendly service! Excellent breakfast buffet!

Drop off and pick up was on time and guides were helpful with check in process.

Quick overnight cruise that was full of well organized activities.

Fun and informative tour with Dang and Donald. Learned a lot about the history of Hanoi and tried some street food!

The guesthouse made a great home base for our time in Grimsey. The rooms were small but comfortable. We had a cool view of the dock as a fisherman offloaded his catch of fish. You can bring food and prepare it in the guesthouse kitchen or eat at the restaurant nearby. The restaurant was very good. Just be aware, if you need groceries, the grocer is only open for a few hours each day and, as you can imagine, has limited options. Grimsey is a special place. It is absolutely worth it to stay a night or two!

Very nice hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious. The onsite hotel was top notch.

It was so neat to be able to stay on a working farm. The owner, Mangus, was friendly and happy to show us around the horse stable. We loved getting to watch the mom and baby horses grazing in the pasture near the house. The rooms are comfortable and clean with an amazing view!

The staff was very helpful and hospitable. We stayed two nights during the halfway point of our trip and were able to use their laundry service (2 night stay is required). The rooms were very nice. They felt more like an American hotel due to the larger size, bathtub, and having several electrical outlets throughout the room. The restaurant on site is very good with a large selection including a buffet option that includes traditional Icelandic foods like lamb stew and fermented shark.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent. They also have a free parking garage for guests. We really appreciated not having to worry about finding and paying for overnight parking.

The hotel is very nice. It's probably the fanciest hotel we stayed at in Iceland. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast was good. However, since it's right off of the main street, it can be very loud in the evening with events going on or people enjoying themselves outside. We stayed two nights and there was a good amount of noise both nights when we were trying to sleep. Our room on the east side of the hotel also got quite warm in the morning with the sun streaming in.

This was one of my favorite places to stay in Iceland. It's tucked away in the countryside of a small town. Right outside of our cabin, we had a view of a small stream with several birds. Just beyond that was a field with grazing horses. Even though there are 8 cabins bunched together, it was so quiet and peaceful.

We had a great stay at Hotel Laugarvatn. It's a easy drive from Thingvellir National Park, Geyser, and Gullfoss. We ate dinner at Lindin (so good!) and walked down to the lake by the geothermal baths to see the steaming sand where they bury and bake the geyser bread. Very cool area!

The lava cave tour was very interesting. The guide did a great job of explaining how the cave was formed, the different colors of the rocks, and the viking lore of trolls living in the peninsula.

The lava show was so good! It was incredible to see the lava flow and watch how it quickly changed form. Feeling the heat in the room change as the lava flowed down really put into perspective how hot the lava is. The narrator was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the geology and nature of lava.

The Into the Glacier tour was an incredible, unique experience. The transportation and transfer process was smooth. The guide when we got to the glacier was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the glacier and about Icelandic history and culture. We were able to take our time looking around and taking pictures, inside and outside the cave. It didn't feel rushed at all. Just enjoyable.

6 stars if I could. Beautiful grounds, fantastic food on site(breakfast buffet and restaurant), walkable to restaurants and a couple shops, friendly staff. Everything was above and beyond. Amazing views everywhere. Covered hot tub and pool so can be enjoyed when raining. Free marshmallows for the fire pit. Fun disco bathroom. I could go on and on. Whole family loved this place.

AC in rooms only works with a key that is welded to the room key so it can only be used while you’re in the room and it takes a good hour to cool down when you get back to the room - and that’s with all the fans on. I’m all for conserving energy but even keeping the room at 85° while we were out would have been wonderful to keep the humidity down and allow clothes/swimsuits to dry. The bathroom is never air conditioned. Imagine having an upset stomach in a humid 90° bathroom. Balcony and views were fantastic though and monkeys were everywhere which was fun. Food on the premises was just OK and expensive. Need to call a shuttle to get anywhere on the property or walk up hill on dangerous roads a distance. Staff was friendly and room was clean .

Friendly staff, great breakfast, clean rooms, fun hot springs pools, waterslide fun for kids. Ambiance was beautiful. Wish we could walk to other restaurants and shopping but that has nothing to do with the hotel, it’s common for the area I think. Uber was easy to use .

Guide was amazing-he gauged the kind of experience we wanted and tailored the trip to that. For instance, we were more adventurous than the other raft that went with us so our guide made sure to get us fully in the rapids where the other guide was a little more subdued. Guide was very safe and knew the river well. No one fell out unless we wanted to. It was the perfect amount of heart-racing fun. Great pics to buy at the end for $40USD so no need for a waterproof camera. Lunch was typical Costa Rican fare at the end.

Guide brought a Swarovski spotting scope and took pictures through it and shared them with us. It allowed us to really see animals close up. It was crowded compared to other “hikes” we did on the trip.

Expected the zip lining to be cool but didn’t expect the beautiful nature walk through the hanging bridges. Guide was so sweet and knowledgeable and truly loved this land. Our family of 4 (2 adult kids)had a fantastic time.

Absolutely beautiful hike with 2 waterfalls and lush scenery. Guide was great and took pictures to share with us afterward. Overall our family of 4 (2 adult kids) had a great time and consider it our favorite hike of our trip. Lunch was great as well.

This place was great - it’s an eco lodge in the jungle and they have done a great job laying on the activities and meals and providing airy accommodation. They do need to make sure the torches they provide work better than the ones we had, which were not good enough for the night walk we went on. We changed to our phone torches instead, and even those aren’t that strong.

This is another well located hotel in the heart of Cusco, with a lovely courtyard. Strangely you had to walk through the restaurant to reach the rooms, which made the restaurant feel a bit like a corridor. The rooms were spacious, but did not feel quite as lovely as the ones we’d already had at the hotels in Colca and the Sacred Valley. It’s inevitable when you stay in a number of hotels during a trip that some feel a bit more special than others. This place was good, but we’d already been spoiled by the hotels just before!

This place was stunning! We could have easily stayed here longer, everything about it was lovely. The rooms were very comfortable, the gardens were beautiful, the location and surrounding scenery was great. The bar and restaurants were also very good - we had one of the best pisco sours of the trip here!

This hotel is in a great central location and is quite charming. Our room had a bath sunk in the floor in the room, which actually seemed a bit of a hazard, especially if you get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night. The other element of this hotel which slightly disappointed us was the way the breakfast buffet was laid out in the courtyard - it was very cold first thing in the morning so everything was freezing to touch, particularly the plates, so all food ended up very cold

We were only here for one night to visit Machu Picchu, but it was an extremely nice hotel and we had amazing views from the window over the river

Beautiful hotel with a tranquil spa. We also enjoyed the scenic grounds and seeing the humming birds, parakeets and alpacas in the gardens. The element that could be improved is the restaurant used for evening meals as it felt rather large and lacking in character and atmosphere

Fabulous hotel in amazing location. We thoroughly enjoyed using the thermal baths

Seeing Machu Picchu was incredible. We were blessed with a beautiful clear day with blue skies and sunshine and it all looked amazing. Our guide was brilliant, he told us so much and he was great at taking photos and videos of us!

This was a fantastic trip. Mariel was our guide again and she was great, as was Fernando our driver

Mariel was a great guide, and we really enjoyed this city tour

Grizzy the guide was amazingly helpful. Of all the guides I have had in managing small and large groups, She is one of the best!

We wound up staying in one of their cottages versus the hotel itself. The cottage was good. It was 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms.

Beautiful hotel with wonderful services. It was right next to the Tivoli and train station

I've never ridden an e bike. It was pretty easy if you know how to ride a bike in general. It was like someone giving you a gentle push. The tour guide, Sergio, was great and easy to keep up with

I like Michelle. The tour was informational and pretty easy walking with lots of stops.

The smell in the hallways was awful. For several nights it smelled like a sewage pipe had broken. The walls are super thin. You could hear everything at night and during the day. The cleaning staff was obnoxiously loud -screaming and shouting at each other as they cleaned the rooms: Slamming doors at all hours of the day and night. You really get what you pay for - but in this case even less.

Great, good breakfast, a bit loud at night, right in front of night club.

A few things you need to know before heading to the island. 1. If you are staying there you arrive at 9 in the morning and can’t get into your room until 3. 2. They cut off power for 2-3 hours every day in the afternoon. 3. They have a big menu but quite a few items are not available. 4. The trip back in the afternoon was rough seas and many people on our boat were vomiting. 5. DO NOT spend the money on the snorkel trip, some fish, dead coral, very underwhelming . Snorkel around the island, we saw some cool stuff though the coral was not good. 6. There is no AC so if you need a break from the heat just know this ahead of time. As an aside my husband and I both had some GI upset that sidelined us for 12 hours. Our group would have chosen and extra day in Cartagena rather than this excursion. I will say the people/employees of the island were nice and attentive to their guests. The area was clean as could be as there are limitations to cleaning on a small island.

Miyuki was a great guide and we enjoyed Yanaka.

We enjoyed Hakone! We spent our afternoon at the open air museum, which was incredible. The stay at our hotel springs hotel was very unique and special: the location, the room, the hot springs, and the meals were all lovely.

Rio was a lovely guide. She was pleasant and gave us a lovely experience to take in a food experience at a slower pace and truly relax and enjoy foods.

This was so special. We learned so much and loved making matcha for each other. Our instructor was so patient with us as we learned and helped us understand and gave us a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

This was an incredible, special, once in a lifetime experience. We loved it and highly recommend it.

Tom was an enthusiastic and informative guide. We saw interesting sites and he helped guide us and teach us in the best ways. He took the time to understand our knowledge and interests and adapted to make sure he was giving us the best experience. Highly recommend!

Hana was an amazing guide! This tour is a must-do. We learned so much from her, she set a pace and covered a manageable amount of activities. She helped us find the best and most local foods to sample at the market. This trip was fantastic!
