Kimkim Trip Reviews

It was a very happening place. Service was good! Convenient to all of Edinburg, including shopping!

My reason for a three star rating has to do more with the time of my visit as there was some sort of political meeting and high level of security around making the hotel extremally busy, but the staff is very warm and welcoming

Location Location Location, This hotel is very well located, 5mins walk from the Rosebank Mall 8-10mins drive from Mandela Square

This place is simply amazing, the rooms are large and excellent, if your looking for peace and quite after a day spent doing wine tasting and a nice dinner in Franschhoek this is the place. the host is super cool and friendly would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend

The original pick up time was 5:15pm, to avoid the rush we ask that the pick up be changed to 4pm this was clearly communicated by our Kimkim team and the information shared with out group from the day before our departure, the arrived 40 mins late so everyone was just standing around in the hotel lobby

Lollypop is the man, He made this part of the trip really worth it, very knowledgeable guide, Soweto has a very dark history, really different side of SA. The Apartheid Museum is a must visit to really understand the history of the struggles. Lunch at Lebo's was more of the taste of SA cuisine

The food in Mjejane River Lodge was some of the best our group had throughout South Africa

Was able to see 4 of the notable big 5 only missed the Leppard. was also expecting to actually drive in Kruger but the south entrance over the bridge was blocked

This is a must do

This can be optional was nice and the host was super, I think I was just expecting more

Welcome to the United States of South Africa The views and coastal drive is so beautiful

This place is so rich with history

Hotel next to Main Street traffic and no air conditioning.

This ws definitely the most memorable of all the hotels i stayed in during my trip to Mexico. Its more like a campground than hotel and is close to Calakmul, which provides convenience in a remote area.

The Don Tomas is an oasis within the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama. The accommodations are comfortable and tastefully decorated. Coffee, tea, or water--plain or infused--are always available. The breakfast offers the usual array of continental and American items, all arranged beautifully. On the lunch and dinner menus, offering all have a local slant, both veggie and non-veg. I especially liked the fresh ingredients in the salads and highly recommend the Oriental pasta for its earthly richness. One caveat: for a pre-breakfast start on your tour, the take away sack lunch is rudimentary at best.

This tour is not to be missed. After a very early start, you arrive at sunrise at one of the largest geyser fields in the world. all in a very dramatic setting at 11,000 feet. The earth seems alive with steam vents and roiling geysers. Although below freezing, the ground is warm to the touch.

This tour provides a wonderful experience of the immense salt flats seen from the red rocks, the "piedras royas." The lagoons are beautiful deep blue lakes at the base of volcanoes. A chance to view flamingoes in a reserve comes at the end, as a fitting culmination.

The restaurant here is perhaps the most beautiful place I've ever eaten (beautiful jungle view) and I am still thinking about how good the seafood soup was weeks later. The rooms were comfortable (also with beautiful views) and the springs were nice. The customer service was also exceptional. I would definitely recommend this resort.

This is where we saw the majority of wildlife during our stay. The grounds are spread out and lovely with tons of beautiful vegetation, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Howler monkeys and iguana were abundant. Our guide for being transported via boat as well as the boat tours was Elias, and he was amazing and also very helpful when we needed to modify our plans slightly. Bismark at the front desk was also very helpful and friendly. They keep the bar running from 10am - 10pm and the large water-facing gazebo as a designated smoking area was appreciated. Being that we were in the middle of the jungle, the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms exceeded my expectations. There is no AC but the temperature was perfect the whole time and I truly didn't even notice. There are also mosquito screens rather than windows, but I still felt like I had enough privacy, plus the screens allowed us to hear all the jungle noises! I had a lot of fun just walking the nature trail and looking for (and finding) wildlife. The grounds were very relaxing. The tap water here is not for drinking but there is a place to fill up water bottles toward the entrance. The food was better than I expected. It is not out of this world or anything, but it is more than adequate. It is offered buffet style (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). We sat at assigned tables in small groups, but the tables were big enough that I didn't feel crowded. Also, the time window that meals are offered is large enough that it was rare for everyone at a given table were all eating at the same time. It is best to go outside toward the bar/restaurant for a good WiFi connection, if needed. I believe a lot of these lodges in Tortuguero (Pachira, Evergreen) all have the exact same setup and function essentially the same. I would definitely recommend them for staying somewhere that feels like 'the jungle' but doesn't sacrifice comfort.

The rooms were comfortable and the rooftop dining area was nice. The location is right in the heart of the city, which in San Jose means we had to be a little careful. The streets essentially roll up by around 8-9pm and there is not a soul in sight. We have been told that it isn't very safe to walk around at night in the city and that was apparent to us in this area. This means that if you don't want to be hungry at night, make sure to eat a full dinner early on as there is no where nearby to get food and the hotel only offers $3 bags of peanuts. The free breakfast in the morning, however, was delicious with a large selection. The fact that everything around the hotel closes so early also makes it difficult for smokers. Since smoking is not allowed anywhere on the premises my husband stepped out front at night to smoke a cigarette, and the gate promptly locked behind him (gate was not accessible with the hotel key). After about 5 minutes, the gate was opened for him, but during this time he did start to get heckled by an aggressive homeless man. The only entrance/exit to the hotel essentially leads right into the street so it's good to be careful when leaving the hotel grounds.

We felt there was a shortage of trained staff.

The owner made us very welcome with a broad knowledge of the locale, restaurants and things to do locally. the hotel was very well situated for all the tourist activities.

Small hotel run by owners was extremely well run, very clean, well located and staff very helpful.

We had a final short overnight stay and very early flights

We were given a detailed explanation of the history and the local Maori involvement

The jet boat and the staff were very experienced and caring for individual situations from Children to mature adults

The organisation was superb and the staff exceptional most notably Phoebe and her crew.

We went to the geo thermal park. Spent time at the luge park. Just generally enjoyed being being in Rotorua for several days.

The weather was too bad and we stayed in Paihia

The length of the all day trip was too long

The weather was appalling so we gave it a miss

Everybody enjoyed the experience in spite of inclement weather.

Mostly we were recovering from the long overnight flight from Perth.

It was a great experience to sail down the Nile in this floating hotel

Comfortable hotel. Great Egyptian food with extremely generous portions

A wonderful experience. I think it would be good to get a more detailed briefing on what to expect in terms of the "accommodation" in the desert. Having said that, this is a not to be missed experience.

I have never seen seas nor skies so blue. The glass bottomed boat and snorkeling was great. It was our first time snorkelling

We did the Hot air balloon. It was a terrific experience floating over the Valley of the Kings. The only suggestion I would have is that the number of people in the balloon could have been split across 2 balloons. There were around 30 of us in our balloon which limited one's 360 degree view since much movement wasn't possible

Glød was fantastic. The tents were very warm during the winter and the staff were lovely.

Everything about Trasti & Trine was amazing. The food was the most incredible food we have eaten and the breakfast incredible. We were lucky to see the northern lights on 2 nights! We also did the dog sledding which was wonderful. An amazing relaxing and peaceful 2 nights.

Seeing the northern lights can never be guaranteed. Our guide tried his absolute best and did all the necessary research and that’s all we can ask 😊

Our time spent learning about the Samii community was incredible. We were so lucky to be the only ones with an incredible guide. And being on the reindeer sled was awesome!!

The only thing I have to say is I wish I booked the longer tour! What an incredible experience and so much fun.

The suits were not quite week enough for the weather and unfortunately we saw no whales.

Beautiful nature, helpful guide. The waterfall is pretty scenic

Excellent! Nice class 3 river with a lot of excitement (but still doable with the kids)

A great kayaking trip up the river. Lot of wildlife, gets very quite after a while (once you are past the howler monkeys)

Fantastic view from the restaurant/pool, and some of the rooms as well.

Absolutely fantastic hotel, amazing location and view of the volcano (weather permitting !). The bungalows and pools are fantastic. The restaurant is also great, with a great patio.
