Kimkim Trip Reviews

Incredible view of the Acropolis from the rooftop restaurant. The pool was nice for cooling off in the afternoons. The location was fantastic - no need for cabs, we walked everywhere! Great breakfast.

Quaint boutique hotel, a short walk to shopping and dining, friendly staff and nice breakfast.

Absolutely stunning property! The staff was so friendly and welcoming (Eleni is so sweet!). The sunset views were breathtaking. It was a short walk into Chora, the main town, but very quiet and relaxing. We had a great dinner at Grandma’s restaurant (on property) and enjoyed sunbathing at the infinity pool. The breakfast was amazing. In addition to an extensive buffet, there was also a menu of options that you could order from. We stayed in a suite with a bedroom upstairs for us, and sleeper sofas downstairs for the kids. It worked out perfectly!

Very unique property (it used to be a monastery) , conveniently located right in Fira. The manager, Lea was so helpful and friendly. The infinity pool area was very nice and had a beautiful view, and the breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options. The fresh-squeezed juice was a favorite for our group.

A driver picked us up in a nice Mercedes van and took us to visit the main sightseeing spots on Ios - Homer’s Tomb, the Odysseas Elytis Theatre, Paleokastro and Mylopotas Beach. It was so beautiful!

Eleni was so knowledgeable and friendly! The tour of the Acropolis was great. Because we were with a tour, we were able to enter the Acropolis from the back side and avoid the lines. From there, she took us to a cute restaurant for Freddo Cappuccino and orange cake. We walked around the city, visited a meat and fish market, and sampled olives at the local outdoor produce market. From there we visited Bougatsadiko Thessaloniki restaurant in Psirri for spanakopita. She offered to take us for souvlaki, but we were already stuffed and decided to head back to the hotel. It was a perfect way to see Athens!

This was a great way to get familiar with the island. The first stop was Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum. It was a little cheesy, but it was very informative and we learned about the history of winemaking on the island, then sampled a few of their wines. Our general impression was that they were good, but we didn’t love them enough to buy bottles to bring home. We visited the town of Megalochori, walked the cobblestone streets and visited ancient cave dwellings. Our next stop was Profitis Elias Mountain (the highest point in Santorini). There we visited a little church and bought products made by the monks at the local monastery. We tried caper leaves for the first time (delicious!) and bought some sun dried tomatoes to bring home. Elena poured us each a glass of wine and we drank it overlooking the entire island. Next, she took us to a restaurant where we had traditional Greek dishes on a rooftop while we watched the sunset. A perfect way to end the evening.

Another awesome tour in Santorini! This day we visited Museum of Prehistoric Thera, and then went to Akrotiri, an active archaeological dig site of an ancient fishing village covered by a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. Our tour guide, Tonia, was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the ancient civilizations. From there we visited Perivolos Beach and had an amazing sushi lunch at Forty One. We were supposed to go to Profitis Elias Mountain, but since we had done that the day before, we opted to spend some extra time at the black beach. The restaurant allowed us to use a few of the lounge chairs for free, since we had eaten lunch there, which was really nice. We went to another winery for a wine tasting (not sure of the name, but the views were stunning!) and then back to the hotel.

The highlight of our trip! Evie and Eleni were fantastic. They took us to the red beach and the white beach to swim and snorkel (the water was crystal clear!) and then around the volcano. They made us a delicious dinner on the boat, and then the wind picked up so Evie raised the sails and we sailed around for about an hour before we watched the sun set. It was a perfect way to end our trip.

Food was good. Tent was spacious. Staff available to walk you from tent to common areas ‘on-demand’. Tent aesthetics were tired.

Great facility — clean, spacious, tropical. Beautiful beach with sandbar. Book your restaurant(s) prior to arrival due to limited seating available. Try the spice tour! Be prepared to be invited to visit shops/restaurants along beach.

Agrey , driver/guide was engaging during entire trip, cared about safety, asked for our priorities— custom service at its best!

Highly recommend seeing animals before 7am !

Unlike other accommodation on our safari this Camp is less about the wildlife than the experience and the place. It is a unique landscape and we had the opportunity to see something of Maasai life which was special. As a local venture it offers a warmth and sense of place that some other camps do not. The only potential downside is that the showers rely on the heat of the day for warm water, so I recommend an afternoon shower!

Our guides were super knowledgeable and genuinely loved what they do - and the feeling was contagious. It was a great day

Elia Ermou was lovely, especially right in the middle of Athens. The upper level restaurant had a perfect view and the staff was very nice.

The Lagos Maare was a real treasure. Close to the beach but not right in the middle of the crowds. Again, the grounds were beautiful, the service and staff very good, the food very nice, and we were provided with a beautiful suite. Every detail was taken care of.

Great location, nice room, helpful staff, excellent breakfast.

This was the calibre of a hostel, and we expected better. There were so many deficiencies that could have been corrected: light bulb out in the hallway so we couldn't see to put our key in the door; no daily room cleaning; hard to find staff at the desk; no ice available (I needed to ice my broken foot daily); 2 hot tubs, one of which was not very hot and both were dirty, including a rusted out canister that probably held the chlorine for water cleaning; no screens on the windows at a time when we were told not to open our windows because the midges were biting; and more.

Very comfortable, excellent staff, great breakfast, good location.

Fabulous location, great location, excellent staff, outstanding meals.

We saw whales and dolphins dancing at the back of our boat. Our guide said that was very fortunate - and amazing.

Breathtaking

beyond my wildest dreams to see glaciers up close.

Lovely way to relax at the end of the trip, especially after all of the driving we did.

Close proximity to all and very convenient to access food and entertainment.

Family own and away from the noise. Peaceful. Well kept.

I would consider this luxurious. Because it is an eco g friendly hotel it does come w some bugs, but nothing that would stop me from staying again. Rooms were clean, beautiful and spacious.

Our experience was limited due to my mom’s mobility issues . What we had was great. We wish we would have been able to do more.

Amazing! Don Nacho was one of the highlights of our trip.

The tour and experience were amazing. Very informative and engaging. The walk is not for anybody who has mobility issues though, but for those able it is a most do.

A most do if you have kids. Following the recommendations from our tour guide Carlos, we got there early and were able to do w/o lines. The cafe show was very colorful and professional.

Without glorifying Pablo Escobar, the story behind the recovery after the damage he did was interesting and enlightening. From a historical and educational point of view, we enjoyed learning how Medellin grew to be the city it is now.

A most do. Bringing to my children the aspects of different ways of living in other countries was refreshing and educational for them. We really enjoyed the art and the culture behind Comuna 13.

Beautiful sightseeing. Some of us were unable to do the hike to the top but were able to enjoyed the views from the Mirador while enjoying snacks. The boat was a surprising experience that we were not expecting. The boat guide was very entertaining!

Carlos, our tour guide, was amazing. His knowledge of the fauna and flora of the area was very educational. The views were stunning. Planting a palm tree was one of the highlights for my children

We love the Turpial. Mr. Pierre was wonderful and the experience was amazing for all ages. Not only we were able to enjoy making chocolate from scratch but also other fruits from his farm.

Definitely book way in advance to secure a spot in the hotel. The bunkhouse is very rustique and does not offer the same level of comfort some may seek after a long day on the WHW.

The manager was really friendly and helpful! Breakfast was also really good. Might be good to have some additional healthy options, like fruit. Facilities were nice and clean.

Some ongoing constructions. Tools and nails on the floors of the spa area. Pretty dangerous and also unprofessional

The privat tour with our very experienced guide Rhona was a special highlight for us. She really was able to vividly describe the battle of Culloden and patiently answered the many questions we had. She definitely knew all the true and untrue tales and stories about what had happened on this historic field and impressed us with her knowledge of the gaelic language. We highly recommend this tour and especially Rhona as a guide.

The tour was an overall nice experience and offered many beautiful sights such as Neist Point, the Fairy Pools, Fairy Glenn and particularly the Quiraing-formation as well as the notorious Old man of Storr. However, the driver Martin seemed quite rushed and on a very thight schedule, which led to interesting driving manoevers as well as some hasty visits without the necessary time to really appreciate places. The "visit" at Dunvegan Castle for example was meant to be a lunch-break or gift-shop-consumption-stop instead of an opportunity to explore the castle - which we actually did not see at all! The tour was advertised as a "guided tour" which was somewhat misleading, as the guidance offered was merely the drive-around! Martin was friendly and did his best in offering some explanation, but those turned out to be more anecdotal. Personally, we would choose quality over quantity.

It was really great. Puffin were adorable! And added bonus of sand dune slides - kids didn’t want to leave!

We loved it. Our guide was adorable and so fun even when the dogs were a little naughty. Lolz We all had a great time!

My daughter loved it despite getting soaked. It was very challenging - walking over boards suspended above rushing water. I’d call it a challenging activity

So fun!!!!

We had a great time. We’ve gone horse back riding on other trips - this was too on the list. Beautiful

The rooms are fine for a short stay with a safe and daily bottled water. We thought the breakfast was very average with a poor selection of continental options.

Loved this trip and seeing the orangutans. It is quite commercialised with a lot of people visiting at the same time, however, seeing these amazing animals in the wild was a wonderful experience. There are set feeding times each day so you have to fit in with these for a chance to see the orangutans and the park does warn that you are less likely to see them in fruit season. We saw 6 orangutans in all including a large male and a mother with baby.

Farhah was an excellent guide and took us around a great variety of areas. Being able to have good e-bikes made it easy for us to experience this trip although it is pretty much all on the flat so we needn't have worried. We had plenty of time to get off and take photos while she explained the history and significance of each of our stops. We visited back lanes, the spice market and the local produce market as well as historic places which made for an interesting variety. Highly recommend

Loved our trip to the National Park. John is really informative. We were able to see proboscis monkeys and do an add on trip around the shore line to see the rock erosion and rock stacks nearby.

We really enjoyed being out on the water for this tour. You will join a small group to do the trip even if you start out with a private guide. We didn't see dolphins or crocodiles but did get a glimpse of a proboscis monkey and a group of silver leaf monkeys. A snack - fruit, cake and biscuits along with water are provided on the trip which was good as we didn't get back to Kuching until around 8:30 pm

All good. John was at the airport to welcome us

All good - John dropped us directly to the airport after we'd seen the orangutans

Beautiful woodwork, patio and views. Loads of charm.

Amazing view. The industry near the waterfront was a bit loud as we like to sleep with the windows open. Dinner menu was good and slightly more affordable than others. Near enough to town if you have a car.

Clean large space. Nice balcony and views.

Clean, spacious. Easy parking.

Views, space, right in town.

Really nothing wrong with this hotel but it was our least favorite of our trip. The rooms were small. Not really much of a view from our rooms. The very young woman at the front desk seemed new and lacked warmth as well as critical knowledge which made our interactions and stay a bit too much work, and a bit less pleasant. The slightly older woman at the front desk seemed top notch. The view from g to be patio bar was tremendous. No parking so you must fend for a spot.

Comfortable clean. Great location and view

Jostin our guide was fantastic. The hike the views the stories…we loved it. Definitely a trip highlight. We also had no crowds no lines and brilliant weather.

Loved being out on the fjord. Had a great time with our captain Mons. Caught a blue ling, a sea pike and a dogfish.

Nice to get out on the water and see the city from a different perspective. Got lucky on the weather and the never ending twilight.

Beautiful scenery.

Amazing what the e mountain bikes can get up and over. Different than traditional mountain biking but still a heck of a work out and fun.

This hotel was clean, comfortable and safe. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. It's location was a bit far from sites that I was interested in seeing but overall a great deal for the price.

This hotel was clean, comfortable and safe. The staff were very friendly, accessible and helpful. The food at the restaurant was truly enjoyable. The location cannot be beat and overall this hotel is definitely a fabulous deal for the money.
