Kimkim Trip Reviews

One of the worst hotels I ever stayed.

Fantastic hotel. Lovely room, with lots of storage space and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had travelling through Ecuador and Peru over 6 weeks!

Lovely stay in the centre of Cusco. Surprisingly quiet in our room although we were at the front of the hotel. Food was good and staff were all very friendly.

Fabulous hotel! A little walk from the centre but the advantage was that it was very peaceful. Staff were very nice and we would have to give a special thank you to Juan in the bar/restaurant. He was one of the most helpful members of staff we came across during our 6 week South American adventure! Our room was really lovely. Very comfortable bed, good shower, lots of space for our belongings, no noise from neighbouring rooms, stutters made it nice and dark at night and we really slept well. Lunch and dinner in the restaurant were excellent and great value. Our experience at breakfast was a little haphazard but I think it was down to the inexperience of the staff and the language barrier. Food quality was not a problem, just trying to communicate simple needs like toast and butter!

Fabulous peaceful location and the view from the garden was stunning! Rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. We slept really well. The gentleman at Reception was very helpful and spoke good English. We found the public areas very cold, but our bedroom was warm. Food was not good.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Staff, room, food all 10 out of 10!

Stunning location and decor. Food was absolutely wonderful. Our room was really comfortable and all the staff were very kind.

We enjoyed our stay here. Lovely room overlooking the river at the back of e hotel. The staff were all friendly. Breakfast was adequate and the evening meal (included with our booking) was very tasty. Right in the centre of Aguas Calientes so handy location wise I don’t think you could ask for more!

Wow! This was one tough climb! I knew it was going to be a challenge, but nothing can quite prepare you for the ascent over the first few hours. Glad I did it for the sense of achievement, but it’s definitely something people need to give serious thought to before signing up for it! For me, this was the only way to see the view from the Sun Gate ( I now know it’s possible to do this again from Machu Picchu site) and to be honest, the view of the site was not as mind blowing as I had expected. It was so sunny and so far away that I couldn’t really appreciate it. If I had the choice now, I would have skipped the 1 Day Trail and just walked to the Sun Gate from Machu Picchu.

Loved our visit to Machu Picchu. It’s one of the most fabulous places on earth! Nothing can prepare you for the experience of standing there with all the magnificent mountain peaks around you.

We enjoyed our visit to the Larco Museum and it was worthwhile having a walk in the historic centre. I don’t think there would have been any advantage in staying any longer in Lima. One full day was enough to see the essentials.

Beautiful city. We loved wandering about here and the Monastery of St Catherine was superb!

Stunning scenery and great to see the Condors flying.

Long journey but the scenery was lovely. The visit to the hot springs was the least enjoyable part of our holiday in Peru.

One of my favourite days! The Uros Islands was great, but Taquile was even better. Stunning place!

Nice to see the Camelids all together, although the tapestries were by far the most interesting thing at the location. Pisac was fabulous. Really enjoyed the stop there and would happily visit again if we had the opportunity.

Loved this day. The walk was very pleasant and Ollantaytambo was really interesting.

Very interesting activity! We both enjoyed it.

Fascinating place. Our guide made it very interesting and we appreciated his knowledge.

Lunch was magnificent! One of the tastiest and varied meals we had in Peru. Highly recommend it to others.

Our hotel was the Ben’s hotel not Mine Hotel Boutique and we loved it. Such a European flare. Location was perfect. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Another lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and unique, European flare. Loved all the special decorating touches. Close to shopping and lovely restaurants. Staff and owner very friendly, and the dog Violet, very helpful with suggestions, making tea, and having conversations.

Centrally located in Sydney

Centrally located, Clean, friendly staff. However a bit outdated in terms of modern amenities - like good Wifi / Power outlets in the room. No elevator in the property to move heavy luggage.

Centrally located in CBD area of Melbourne. Cross to the tram lines. Very close to the South Cross Railway station as well.

Must do if your in Sydney first time.

A quick way to experience the Sydney Opera house, Downtown Buildings, Harbour Bridge for some awesome photos

Must do activity in Sydney if your on your first trip and have a few hours. The views of the city were amazing. The briefing and start of activity takes some time but later you realise that for the safety of everyone it was needed. You can pick the day time or night time climb depending on weather and how you want to see the views.

This was a laid back trip to view the Blue Mountain and the amazing views with some small walks / hikes that you can do. Not a packed agenda .

Super day trip to either Snorkel or go Diving to experience the GBR. Worth the day for the amazing views.

A good day trip to experience the Tropical forrests of Cairns. Walks, views and some sighting of the birds and crocs in the area was a nice touch. The trip was a easy day trip for those to like nature.

Amazing drive on the Ocean Road. Quant small towns to stop for views and food made up for a good day spent outdoors.

Was a fun trip for kids. The Puffing train ride had good views and worth it.

We had an amazing time at Jamu lodge. Our guide Adrian was very good and punctual. All the meals served were very healthy. Our Suite was beautiful and comfortable. Truly, a memorable stay at Jamu lodge. The only thing I would have loved to have was having a fan in the Suite as it is very humid in the jungle.

Hotel experience was decent. Breakfast was good. Lucia served fresh fruit juice everyday explaining the benefits of the fruit which was very nice experience. Hotel is in the middle of Old Town. Short walk to Basilica and other interesting spots around. Very authentic and Spanish inspired location. Only negative is the Hotel does not have an elevator,, so it is little hard to carry big luggage up the stairs.

This is a nice hotel with a decent breakfast. Near to many restaurants, and the Pier where you can see wildlife.

Matteo was great! It was just me and my husband for our trip and we were greeted at the dock and told which boat would be ours. We headed over to capri and Matteo pointed out all the things to see along the coast. The water was extra bumpy that day so he adjusted our trip to make it more enjoyable! He gave us the option of what we wanted to do, but we decided to take his advice as he is the expert and were very glad we did! we had plenty of time in capri and were able to see some of the grottos!

We loved this boating experience! There were about five groups of people and it was super comfortable! The staff was extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day! They served us homemade lunch and had plenty of drink options from soda to wine and beer. They went above and beyond when they found out if was my birthday and made a little cake. The water was amazing and they provided snorkeling gear for everyone if you wanted!

This was a great way to see the whole Amalfi coast. We loved staying in Sorrento, but wanted to see the other towns and this was a great way to do so. Our guide was so informative and talked to us the whole drive pointing out different landmarks! She took us on two tours that were included with the trip and made lunch recommendations for us.

Our guide Hercules was super knowledgable! I felt like we got a great over view of the three wineries and really got to experience all the different options of wine. Our guide made us all feel comfortable and got all the different groups interacting with each other which was a nice touch!

Apollo was our guide and wow can't recommend this enough! We were stuffed by the end of this! We felt like we tried every food there was to try and it was all amazing. He was super informative and made us comfortable throughout the whole day! He had so many tricks for navigating the Acropolis to deal with the crowds and heat which we really appreciated

Good sized room, but difficult to navigate with luggage.

This was a special experience. The overall location was good in the sahara desert in the Sand Dunes. Getting there was hard a long 7.5 hour drive for one night. The tent itself was equipped with running water, toilet, two beds, and a fan and lights and outlets to charge your appliances. I did also have wifi.

Gorgeous Riad.

The Hotel Room was subpar (there was dust, bugs, and flies everywhere) and not enough space for two luggage bags to be opened on the floor, but the outdoor experience of the hotel was beautiful.

This was a beautiful riad with a pool, amenities, and overall great character and ambience. The hotel room was small but semi luxe.

I didn't care to see the ruins, it was a very far drive, but I understand why we saw it.

This was such a long journey and we were tired. Our driver karim made sure to make several stops along the way and we felt well rested once we arrived.

It was 100 degrees outside, so we tried to avoid the heat, stayed hydrated, and made the most of our location and ventured to modern marrakesh and old marrakesh,

Overall our tour guide was very nice, well natured, and eager to show us her culture. We were exposed to many foods, and overall, I would have expected a different kind of tour, but I would not recommend it again. Perhaps a cooking class would have been more fun.

The Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort was fine but not my favorite. The hotel felt a bit rundown, possibly because we had just come from a really nice place in New Zealand. However, the bed was comfortable, the staff was great, and the breakfast was wonderful. The comparison with our previous hotel might have affected my impression, but overall, it was an okay stay.

The reef excursion was incredible! We first took a boat ride for about an hour and a half to our snorkeling site. We had two hours to explore the first reef, followed by lunch, and then another two hours at a different location. The snorkeling was fantastic; we saw a variety of fish and coral, including clownfish, which reminded me of Finding Nemo. The instructors were helpful and pointed out interesting marine life. It was a memorable and breathtaking experience.

The Lord of the Rings tour was a highlight, even though we aren't huge fans of the movies. The morning was just my husband and me with the driver, focusing more on sightseeing than just the film locations. It was great to see the beautiful scenery. In the afternoon, we joined others for some exciting off-roading, driving through rivers and off the beaten path. It was a fascinating experience and enjoyable even for those who aren't die-hard fans of the series.

Great rooms and breakfast

A beautiful property but maybe a bit dated. Rooms had a mild musty smell but there is so much humidity there, it’s possible the whole hotel is like that

This hotel is pretty basic. Comfortable but small for family of 5. The kitchenette is very small- no oven, just 2 burner stove and very minimal pots and pans for cooking.

This resort is beautiful. Our cabin was awesome-spacious and comfortable. Nice appliances, hosts were very hospitable and friendly. The geothermal bath and cold plunge were a definite bonus and the breakfast delicious.

This was plush!! Super convenient location and easy access to many sites. The cabin was actually stunning- coming with laundry, grill and hot tub. We loved this place!

This house was amazing! We loved staying here. It is a true, older, authentic Reykjavik home. Very spacious, great appliances, nice large kitchen table. The beds are comfortable and nice decor throughout.

This hotel was gorgeous! It also was very centrally located with a small but adequate gym and a beautiful indoor pool. The breakfast buffet was great and the bar in the hotel was great. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porto.

This hotel was centrally located and very nice with pleasant staff. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. We were very happy that we actually returned to the same hotel for our final night.

One of the most unique and beautiful hotels we've ever had the good fortune to visit. We wish we could have stayed a second night!

We loved this hotel! It was the perfect way to end our wonderful vacation. The pool was lovely and the walk to the beach was only about 15 minutes once we figured out how to get there. The breakfast buffet was outstanding complete with an omelette bar and special section for gluten-free foods. The rooms were very nice and the beds very comfortable.

WOULD HAVE SPENT 2 NIGHTS!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Not as in the pictures :) we should juste have been noticed that the food would be so hard to find in this beautiful area! haha!

Even though we had the entire hotel to ourselves, this is TRULY a hidden gem in the countryside. Beautiful location, rooms, service. Wish we could have spent more time here to enjoy the scenery and the farm!

Great LOCATION in the city of Guayaquil, walking distance to anything you may need, Taxis and Ubers are easy to get any time of the day or night, and security and parking are great too!

Cute start to our trip, location is perfect walking distance to PLAZA FOCH and plenty of restaurants. Taxis and Ubers are easy to get any time of day/night, and late night food options within walking distance as well! ONLY complaint is we had the room on the top floor and no elevator, but they are working on getting one soon (we were told). Staff was great too. Breakfast next door also very good!

QUITO is a city that deserves more recognition, one can easily spend a week here and still not see enough. MITAD DEL MUNDO is a must for anyone coming here. I have gone twice now and will still go back again and again because it is a great experience.

Not sure if BANOS has its own tour, but this place is absolutely PHENOMENAL and offers SO MUCH to see and enjoy. If you are an adventurer type and love EXTREME SPORTS, this is the place for you. I would recommend 3 or more days to stay and enjoy all the fun stuff there, the choices are insane from ziplining to bungee jumping, ATVs and Pools, hiking, you think of it they have it! I am looking forward to going back and focusing here for a few days to get my fill.
