Kimkim Trip Reviews

Ground floor off patio helpful for one member who had trouble walking. I liked the little gift stand in the lobby.

This was a beautiful boutigue hotel in the heart of Arequipa's historical district. Beautiful setting, breakfast. Note there is no elevator but we were able to get a ground floor room for one party. a lot of street noise, even on a tuesday night, from a nearby disco (til 4 a.m.!) and at 6 a.m. fireworks due to start of monthly long celebration. Very picturesque.

breakfast choices amazing. Nice modern/updated hotel with elevators and top floor small pool and bar. Walking convenient to shops, restaurants.

close to shops, ATM, bus stop and restaurants. Ground floor rooms and having elevators was great for our group that included two seniors. We asked for room facing river and it was awesome. We kept windows closed as recommended due to mosquito warning. (wish there were screens so we could have heard the river even louder!)

breakfast was mazing and the view was unbelievable. Stairs were tuff!

Staff, room and food was excellent

The Hotel Cumbres Lastarria in Santiago was absolutely amazing. Located in the vibrant Lastarria neighborhood, which is bustling with street vendors, cool restaurants, and a lot of young, vibrant people, it was an ideal place to stay. The hotel itself was super deluxe and beyond what I imagined from the photos. The staff was excellent, and stepping out of the front door placed me right into the heart of everything. It was really convenient and a top-notch experience.

The W Trek in Torres del Paine was an unforgettable experience. The scenery was breathtaking, and despite the challenges of varying weather from wind, sun, to sleet, it was a life-altering adventure. Navigating trails and sleeping in tents, I encountered nature in its purest form. The solitude I experienced was really special, and the journey was well-signposted, making me feel safe even when I was alone for hours. It's hard to compare this experience to anything else.

Good hotel and location for the city.

Seemed more of a museum than a hotel. Very eclectic. Noisy outside with late night partying near the Roman Wall.

Off the wall design. Accordingly, lacking functionality in some areas of the room.. Nice site on the beach.

Good Hotel. One negative: no windows in the room!! Sense of confinement.

Great guide and Chef

Great knowledgeable guide, but overkilled with info.

Fantastic tour Our favorite guide Length was perfect Highly recommend

Great tour Great guide

Great tour and guide Food stop was fantastic

It's an amazing property with lots of history. The views are unbeatable and overall service is good.

Good location. Staff very friendly and helpful.

A very classy property hidden in a quiet location with expansive views. Rooms are bright and staff are very friendly. Unfortunately, our overall feeling is that it is more form than substance for a hotel at this price point. A few negatives to share: 1. Its location, positive aside, may also be negative as it is not accessible by vehicles and the walk to the centre is quite long, though pleasant; 2. Due to the way it is built - all rooms are located on lower floors with two lifts. None of these two lifts will take you to your floor, you have to change lift. Not convenient. 3. Despite the brightness of the room, the main door (wooden) is old and soft. When I tried to lock it from inside, the small metal bar of the lock pierced through the wood frame! On the other hand, the mercury behind the mirror on the bathroom door was coming off with patches of ugly marks. 4. TV - Couldn't find a channel with English. Consider the number of international travelers coming to Capri, this has to improve. Finally, there are two SOS alarms in the bathroom. We accidentally activated the alarms in two occasions. The alarm inside out rang and nobody came. We had to go up to the Reception and inform the duty manager to fix it.

Location is great but as there is a walking distance from the main road where cars can stop and wait, it will be inconvenient for travelers if they have big luggage to carry. Remember most pedestrian walks are layered with rough pebble stones.

Unfortuntately, we didn't start well as two passengers were missing at the meeting point. The driver had to wait and spent much time communicating with You Know Boat on the phone. Eventually we had to go another location to pick up these two passengers. Any hour of time was kind of wasted. However, as for us, we were cool and because of the things we had learnt the day before, we enjoyed hugely all the spots of interests the crew wanted us to see. The Cap, who was a great singer, sang on board some great traditional Neapolitan songs for us. Enjoyable!

We were on our own on this day. We enjoyed walking on the side streets in Sorrento town centre.

On this day we had a person guide - Vincenzo - and on our itinerary a visit to the Blue Grotto. Unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions the latter was closed, and instead Vincenzo put us on a quick boat tour around the island. We were skeptical at first as we had another boat trip lined up the next day. But at the end, it turned out to be an amazing day for us. First, Vincenzo made everything easy and comfortable for us. He was fluent in English, soft spoken and funny. He had lived in Capri for a few years. He knew the place and people in and out. Furthermore, he didn't push us to shop, and he followed our pace instead of us following his. The boat tour, for new comers to Capri, is a great "intro". Without this intro, we wouldn't have found our boat trip next day meaningful as we had already acquired certain knowledge to appreciate better what Capri's scenic coastline could offer. The most memorable part though is the local restaurant - Ristorante Da Giorgio (near the Funicular station in town centre) which Vincenzo introduced to us. This is a gem - from service to food and environment, it far exceeded our expectations. Forget other restaurants nearby, this is a MUST-try.

Perfectly lovely hotel to end our trip.

So authentic

Nancy was so natural and passionate. Super informative. A reservoir of the cities history and culture. She was amazing. As was the food

Bosco and Oscar were delightful and welcoming

It was planned in a way we didn't have even have enough time to complete the tours, and not option for lunch or even a snack all day.

This B&B was breathtaking! The B&B had someone carry our bags down the stairs to our room and the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The common space at the hotel was absolutely gorgeous and very peaceful. Our room was very beautiful with an incredible balcony and view. The bathroom was a little tight and strangely did not have much privacy however, it was still very nice. Breakfast was so nicely served to our room each morning and we got to choose as much food as we wanted! It was so nice to sit out on our balcony and eat every morning. I was surprised when we walked in the room that it was different from what was pictured on the itinerary however, it was still very nice. A wonderful surprise at the end of our stay was a gift of lemon pasta from the staff as we checked out. It was just one of the many impressive touches this B&B had.

This hotel was a little confusing to get to but it was beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was the comfiest bed we slept in all vacation. The room had a great view of Mount Vesuvius and was nice and spacious. Breakfast in the morning was very good and the gentleman serving the breakfast was very nice.

We are so sad we only got to spend one night at this amazing boutique hotel. Silvia, took AMAZING care of us from the second we walked in the door. She greeted us with such kindness and provided us with local recommendations for food and shopping. The room was beautiful and very large. The common area was beautiful and nice and quiet. Breakfast in the morning was intimate and very good! The cappuccino was the absolute best we had in all of Italy! When we return some day back to Florence, we will absolutely be staying at this boutique hotel again.

This hotel was absolutely perfect! We were blown away when we walked into this beautiful suite. We couldn't believe how big the room was and how nice all the accessories in the room were. The staff was so nice and helpful and the breakfast included each morning was intimate and very good. The location of the hotel was great and the water taxi was able to pick us up right next to the check-out location.

This boat tour was a once in a lifetime experience!! The boat was comfortable and the driver of the boat, Enzo, was very good! He made the ride super smooth and even when navigating some waves, I never felt like the boat ride was choppy. Guilia, our guide, was extremely informative and very helpful throughout. She communicated via WhatsApp with us and this helped us to feel super comfortable and confident in being in the correct spot for the boat. We were able to stop in Capri for 3 hours and then we were able to go for a quick swim in a great, secluded spot, near the coast. There was a champagne toast during the ride and a limoncello toast with a biscuit. We were lucky and ended up meeting the nicest people on the boat with us that day.

This tour was very unique and unexpected! This tour helped us to see the beauty and the amazing culture and history of Naples. All the stops were delicious and there were plenty of them, including a nice surprise of a limoncello stop. Very unique food items that we would never have thought to stop at if we didn't have this tour. The timing of the tour was perfect with it being at night-time. The streets of Naples really come alive at night!! My only "negative" comment is that some of the stops felt a bit "tourist trappy" and at 2 of the stops, the workers there were trying to get us to buy other stuff instead of just letting us be on the tour. What we were alerted to as "tourist traps" from locals appeared to fit the bill at the fried pizza and the regular pizza stops. Despite this, all the food was still very delicious!

What an awesome experience this was!! Our main guide was Mara and she was training a guide named, Viola, during our private tour. Both ladies were absolutely amazing and so friendly. They provided us with so much history and local tips along the way. They were both so enjoyable to spend this time with and the stops along this tour were all incredible and delicious! The stops were all very special to Florence culture and it was the most different and delicious food we had on our trip. I would do this tour again and would highly recommend either Mara or Viola!

This was a very short ride and it was a little confusing trying to find the correct gondola meeting point. The guide was fun and provided history along the way. I do wish the ride was a little longer however, it was very memorable!

Only there one night, enjoyed seeing Prada museum. Seems odd to have staff and checkout in lobby on 9th floor, a little inconvenient for checkout at 6:15 AM from our room on 1st floor.

Very good location, near cathedral and Plaza Bib-Rambla. Hard to find front door to lobby on returning to hotel, kept coming back to back door which did not connect. After 3 days we figured it out.

Wonderful location, near Plaza Catalunya, excellent breakfasts, very good suggestions on restaurants with good local food

Staff very helpful, helping us get an early breakfast on day we went up Douro valley, and on day we left for airport. Also Fado performances were on first floor of hotel, and we really enjoyed it.

Very helpful staff, with restaurant and walking suggestions.

Amazing cathedral, very inspiring.

Beautiful drive up valley, looking at vineyards. Wonderful guide!

Enjoyed the perks of the complimentary drinks available in the room and the friendliness of the staff. Room set up was not efficient and fairly small with not much sound proof from the room next door. Bathroom needs a remodel.

Such a cute and intentional B&B. Breakfast was phenomenal. Would not recommend for someone without a car but wanting to explore Cinque Terre as it’s not in a convenient location to get to the train station. However, they are kind enough to offer bikes if desired. Unfortunately going through a travel agent was a downfall as we found out when we were there that there is helpful information they typically provide to their guests (transportation from the train station at arrival, reservations at highly sought after restaurants, etc.) that was not passed along to us.

Cute and quaint hotel with very friendly and accommodating staff. Very quiet and safe. The only thing separately the shower area from the rest of the bathroom was the shower curtain, making more of the bathroom floor wet than desired.

Very safe and clean with ample space in the rooms. Bed was very soft. Really appreciate the surprise of a free upgrade of the room. Bathroom was top notch. Only negative was the key card entry didn’t work so we had to use a standard key to unlock the door but still needed the key card for the lights. Plus we had to bring the key to the front desk everyday so they could clean the room and then pick it up from them again.

The Ritz of Morocco

Close to everything

It’s a fortress. We stayed in a castle!

Awesome service. Awesome experience. Must visit. Staffs were more than accommodating. Food was excellent.

Old need to be renovated

Feels like an Oasis

Like staying in a fairy tale

Magnificent views.

Great views. We have great pictures.

Go higher and farther than where the Camels can take you.

It a good experience to understand the cultures and the hardship of others.

Great experience. Must try at least once. Also nice to enjoy the sunset in the middle of nowhere in the desert. Our guides help us take wonderful pictures

It’s a maze. Felt like ants.

Was really nice and impressive. There is a tour for every language

This place was very nice, the rooms were probably one of the nicest we stayed in on our trip, but I was surprised that the bathroom had tubs that were so high and with no safety grab bars, that my husband couldn't take a shower because he has had two hip replacements, and without at least some bar to grab on and with the very high sides to the tub, it would be dangerouse. The staff was very helpful .

This was the one place we stayed that included a free breakfast, and it was fantastic. It was nice to wake up and not have to drive or walk somewhere to eat breakfast or spend a lot of money eating at the hotel. The woman who manages the kitchen, Robin, was so friendly and helpful and the food was very tasty, well-made, and varied.

This was amazing! We have see a lot of glaciers, in Alaska, Austria, and a few other places, but this place really was impressive. Also, seeing the change over the years due to climate change was an eye opener.

This is apparently Canada's highest suspension bridge, and walking across it was fun. This would be a place that kids would enjoy because they have a fun area where you can zip-line, climb and play in a creative playground-type area.
