Kimkim Trip Reviews

We stayed only stayed one night at this hotel for our super-quick layover in Casablanca. It is a great hotel! Modern and clean. We enjoyed dinner on their rooftop bar, which includes panoramic views of the city and a pool. The included breakfast buffet was well stocked with many options.

What a cute hotel! The staff was nice and accommodating. The decor was in-line with "the blue city". We only stayed here one night, so didn't have a chance to use many of the amenities, but the breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Also of note...outside was hot, but we were more than cool once in the hotel.

This Riad was only open for about a month at the time of our 2-night stay. What a lovely place. It is family owned and run by a mother-daughter team. They are so proud of what they have created and have thought of so many details (I'll mention a cute surprise for your comfort when you enter your room, but don't want to ruin the surprise! ;) ) If interested, they are more than happy to tell you the story from purchasing, years of remodeling to finally realizing their dream of opening. The courtyard is beautiful, complete with a fountain, pool and 3 turtles (we could only find one, but he was out for a while milling around!) There are plenty of dining room options, from indoors to out and even from the rooftop patio. We could tell the furnishings had been chosen with care. The service was great as all staff really is so excited to please. We really enjoyed staying here and would definitely visit again on our next trip to Fes.

A nice, up-scale hotel and spa with all of the accommodations one would expect. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, the restaurant has a great breakfast buffet and equally delicious dinner. We tried our first hamam here and did not leave disappointed.

What a fun experience and so different from staying at a hotel or riad. These are well-adorned tents, complete with private sinks, showers and toilets. The decor is darling and in-line with what the local nomadic Amazigh people would use. There is a heater for the winter months and a fan for the summer months. All electricity (including water pumps) are solar powered, so expect to use as little electricity as possible (iPad, phone, laptop to your heart's content, but no hair dryers allowed as it will blow the entire system). It also should be noted that there is no A/C. We stayed 2 nights towards the end of May and it was getting hot. Generally speaking, you're out seeing other things, away from camp, during the day when temperatures peak, so the heat wasn't a problem for us, but one may just want to be aware to set expectations. We definitely made use of open windows and the fan during the evening and slept like babies. The staff here was eager to please and very proud of their service level. They are also very excited to play traditional Amazigh music for everyone at night for entertainment. We tried sandboarding (with success!!) a couple of times using the board they offered on site. We enjoyed breakfast and dinners during our stay and did not walk away hungry. Star gazing for days (nor nights I guess I should say) We would definitely stay here on our next trip to Mergouza.

This riad was nice, but needs a little updating (VERY worn towels, patio/pool area furniture outdated/worn, etc). If you don't choose to stay here, though, you should DEFINITELY eat at the adjoining restaurant that is run by the same brothers. The chef is incredible, especially if you need a little break from typical Moroccan food. We ate combinations not thought imaginable and asked our waiter for at least 3 of the recipes (and we only stayed 1 night!). We lost count of how many courses there were for dinner. And breakfast was equally as delicious.

We really enjoyed the opportunity to view the mosque even though we aren't muslim. We appreciated learning about the religion, how ablution works and about the architecture of the site.

I left my backpack on the train prior to getting to the hotel. I was very stressed about this. The man at the desk called the station and rode his bike to retrieve my backpack. This was so nice, I still can't believe he did that for me!

They always replied quickly when we needed anything or had questions

Very convenient location just off the harbor. Our room on the 6th floor was huge. The style and finishes are a bit dated, which on the plus side helps create the feeling that you are in a historic building. The small gym in the basement is nice, with a great sauna, which i used twice. We were positively surprised to learn that the hotel offers a complimentary fika (sweets & tea) in the afternoon and even a buffet style dinner for all guests at 6pm. We used this to our advantage by having an early dinner and then go out into the bright summer evening to eat some more fish and desert near the harbor. The breakfast buffet was great with lots of fresh choices, but quite crowded when it opened at 8. On Saturday night the bar across the street was very noisy with locals partying until 3am, which affected my sleep a little, but then again i was happy to see the Norwegians celebrating the nice summer weather. Overall a very solid hotel with character at a perfect location.

Great overview of the history of Bergen by our guide Serena. She was very engaging and kept our group of 8 interested for the full 3 hours. I highly recommend this walk as we learned a lot of details about Bergen's history we would otherwise be unaware off.

Cool experience. We took the funicular to the top and then did a challenging hike to the top of the Gondola via steep and remote trails.

Great experience; staff was knowledgeable and helpful making reservations.

Anna MB was a superb guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and art. She grew up in the area.

This hotel had absolutely amazing views!!! The views were the best part of this hotel. The rooms were fine but nothing special as was the food. The staff at the front desk were not very nice or helpful, it was as if you had to pull information out of them. Due to the location of this hotel (which is not ideal) you need to take a shuttle in and out of town. The shuttle was extremely hot and many times full, so it could become quite inconvenient. Not a hotel I would return to.

This hotel is a gem in Rome. We were lucky enough to have garden rooms which we loved. Rooms are clean, staff is friendly and it’s a nice location

This is a beautiful hotel, very clean, rooms are great, and a nice outdoor area. However, the location is a bit of a walk from the places you want to be close to and it is quite stuffy (staff and guests).

This tour was great!! Best way to see Amalfi and Positano by far. Would highly recommend a boat tour if in the area.

This tour was amazing!! In my opinion I wish the tour guide would have talked a bit less and really only spoke on key points. There was a lot of information given that was not of any interest especially to twenty something yr old boys.

The Vatican is amazing!!! No matter how you see it I can not imagine not being amazed. Our tour guide was very talkative and not all of the information was of interest to us. She also rushed us through areas when we wanted to stop and take pictures, she seemed more focused on getting through the tour than our experience

This was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this tour as long as you can ride a bike, you see things you would otherwise probably not see while visiting Rome. The bonus was our tour guide Alex, he was just amazing!!

This tour is just ok, not sure it is necessary when visiting Florence

We loved this experience!!! We didn’t know much before we went but so happy we did. The views were amazing and walking around the beautiful streets, restaurants and stores made for a great day!!

The Boutik Hotel 3 was very traditional, quite comfortable and perfectly located by the town square. The staff were very friendly and the breakfasts were very French. We loved staying here and would stay here again.

The tour wasn't your classic tour with the tour guide explaining history, etc, as you move thru a town, the country side, etc., Essentially, the driver explained a few things as we drove to our destination, then he let us out of the car and said we were on our own to explore the cities with limited time to do so. Also, "Victor" , one of our drivers in Nice, was impatient and somewhat rude. I would suggest not using him again.

Must do. the Multipass allowed us to really enjoy the Chamonix surroundings.

Good driver, but the tour was mostly on your own.

Wonderful hotel in the historic downtown Quito. The staffs are amazing and they even left a bouquet of flowers in our room for my husband's birthday.

Basic hotel but clean and just want we need.

Wonderful lodge right in the middle of the Cloud Forest. It rained the night we stayed there and we slept like babies.

This hotel is truly a masterpiece, so unique! The hotel owners really pay attention to details and so proud to share their lovely hotel with us for a few days. Every nook and cranny, everywhere you turn, there are amazing handcrafts and art works. The hotel grounds are lovely and you can see and hear the waterfall in the background.

Lovely lodge in the Amazon. The staffs are wonderful, the grounds are well kept and clean. The palm shape pool is supplied by cold spring water so it is a refreshing after a long day of activities in the jungle.

It rained on the night of our night walk but we were able to see many frogs, scorpions, moths, and a glow in the dark fungus.

The chocolate tour and facial were so much fun. Learned about how to make chocolate. Kids enjoyed painting each other's faces with chocolate. Visit Mindo's Orchid with so many special, local species of orchids that are so small, you need a magnifying class to see. So cool!

Visit Rose Success and learned about Ecuadorian Rose. Did not want to leave, some roses are so fragrant!

See so many waterfall on the route. Kids enjoyed the cable car across the river to see the waterfall.

Love the Papallacta Hot Springs - many pools with different temps. The pools are clean and staffs are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended after the long trips, so relaxing .

Staff was excellent but hotel needs updating.

Gilles was a great host.

Sebastian was an awesome dude! If we lived closer together we'd surely be friends.

Two tours in the same day was too much.

Gilles is the MAN! Such a great day and we've made friends for life as a result of this experience.

Relaxed. Comfortable. Good size room and clean. Right near both train station and two blocks from Tivoli Gardens.

We had fun. Paid for a terrific meal in steakhouse as opposed to the buffet. Quite goid. Sang at cocktail lounge for hours. Room was small but comfortable enough. Loved seeing Znirwegian coastline in morning.

Could not have been better. Great location. Staff professional, kind and extremely helpful. Loved the spacious lively room. Breakfast was terrific

We adored this hotel… a cross between Maxims in Oaris and a French bordelli… it was kitschy, cozy… lots of lively private spaces to enjoy. Staff were si terrific and mindful. Had a terrific” private” room for cocktails. Restaurant was also quite good. Well-served breakfast. Quiet… chic rooms.

Sondra was fabulous. It absolutely pored in us the whole time and we didn’t care. She made it such fun. We stopped along the way for Danishvtreats and conversation was great. Learned soooo much.

Bjorn was a lovely older gentleman who knew his history. He was a bit dry and stoic… very few funny stories and a bit lacking in humor. He didn’t try to I get to know us nor did we really get to know more about him.

I felt it was important to take this tour but our guide was a bit odd. He spoke of the many languages he knew… and pointed out artisans etc.just a bit if an @ odd@ msn.but nice!

Of all our accommodations, this felt most like home. Other hotels were more updated in decor and amenities, but this one exuded local character. The owners interacted with us as though we were friends, and the location could not have been more beautiful.

We couldn't believe how gorgeous this place was! Seeing and hearing the sheep when we woke up was magical -- as was the expansive and private beach. Loved the restaurant and the hot tub as well as the beautiful rooms and lobby. The only downside of the community was a lack of transportation, but that is not the fault of this hotel.

This was the first time we have stayed at a Virgin hotel, but it will not be the last! The three nights we spent in Edinburgh were top notch, and the hotel had a lot to do with it. The beautiful rooms made us feel very pampered, and it was as though the owners thought of every little detail. We also frequented the bar and got to know the friendly staff there.

I wish we had gotten to stay here longer. We flew in a bit later than expected and just stayed one night. But we really enjoyed our rooms, the lobby, the bar and the breakfast. It was fun to stroll the neighborhood, too!

Very disappointing. It was as if the guide were a last-minute substitute for the real guide. He had nothing planned really (the restaurant he suggested for burgers was closed) and mostly chatted in general about stuff we already knew. The only good part was a seafood soup we had at a pub. Wish we had seen the Titanic museum instead.

I reviewed by accident. Sorry! Please delete. We were not able to take this tour.

This experience was way better than expected! We had requested an alternative to the three distilleries tour, and the wildlife tour did not disappoint. We were able to see dolphin, stags and birds, etc., and chat with the knowledgeable crew on the boat. The setup with tables and stools made it very comfortable, and it was not crowded at all.

This tour was amazing and what we SHOULD have had in Belfast. We learned so much about Edinburgh -- all the statues, history, interesting side stories and more. I would definitely recommend this tour and our guide.

This tour was just as good as the Old Town tour. Our guide was also great at adapting to last-minute changes in the restaurants we visited. The food was very tasty, and we loved all the backstory about the whiskey. I would recommend this tour and our guide wholeheartedly.
