Kimkim Trip Reviews for Croatia

Hotel facilities (room, pool, view, balacony) were beautiful. Location was wonderful. Special care from staff at all times.

Guide clearly loved city. She knew the city's history inside and out. Her english was impeccable. Very warm and friendly

Top notch

Beautiful..great location overlooking the water....

the only aspect that would make it tough on some travelers is that there are a few steps in and out to get to the hotel...otherwise, it was great...nothing bad to say. Great service.

architecturally fascinating....beautiful...very well run. front desk folks were delightful

Ana gave us the "insider's" tour....just spectacular.

Mario was fun, interesting, and a great cook....took us to some spots to swim, and to our pleasant surprise, had a grill off the back of the boat where he prepared a fresh fish lunch for us...

our guide was an energetic outdoorsman with boundless energy and terrific knowledge of the area and its history, plants, herbs, ..we met a woman who gave us information of the use of these herbs and plants in making of essential oils and natural remedies. The peka lunch was a real treat too.

Our driver Ivo was particularly interesting, incredibly educated and experienced and well traveled. He dropped us at the park, where we enjoyed a walk through the waterfalls and great views. He picked us up promptly and took us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch.

Our driver Mario was very professional and charming, giving lots of interesting comments during our drive . The winery was a real treat, where we tasted several varietals, olive oil and cheese. The owner had lots of valuable experience and knowledge, We brought some wine and olive oil back with us from there.

We loved the personal experience of this hotel! We ate at the owner's restaurant every night. Only one thing they could work on is that the towels need softening agents. Also would have liked a few more towels in the room.

Maybe

Clean. Nice staff. Excellent location. Blum Cafe food amazing!!

Definitely eat in the Plum Cafe////11

Great breakfast meal!

Very warm staff. Cute hotel in good location. Excellent food!

Beautiful views, stunning and great location. Rooms a bit dated but nice anyhow. Most excellent breakfast of the entire trip!!

Understated hotel but lovely local option. Staff very nice and accomodating.

Loved how Bruno our tour guide understood timing of when we should go into the park!! We avoided the crowds so it really felt like a personal experience.

Loved the walking tour with Bruno. He took us to the museum of Broken Relationships. Very patient with us and totally flexible!!

This was a laid back day since it rained. Bruno let us explore the city on our own.

Didn't love this park as much as the Plitvice Park. It was a bit more touristy.

Loved walking the walls on our own!! Wonderful way to really understand how local people live in Ston!! Robbie did a great job in touring us around and explaining the history of the area. Would have been nice to have more time to explore Split, but it is a more touristy area.

Loved the biking and paddle board experience. Robbie took our time with everything and was very patient with us if we wanted to change our plan!

Robbie dropped us off with his bikes which were in excellent condition!! He arranged for a wonderful meal for us with a local family.

Robbie absolutely did a tremendous job in touring us around on a boat, had water snacks and clean towels for us!! He brought us to many caves and islands. This such a highlight of our trip!!

Robbie set up a tour with a local guide he gave us an amazing walking tour. She also took us into the old synagogue and had a plethera of knowledge of Dubrovnik.

Excellent location and service and fabulous dinner and breakfast at the restaurant Loved the interior decorations and the history of the hotel!

Excellent location and beautiful surroundings and wonderful restaurant. Had a fabulous dinner there

Nice and clean but outdated and could use refurbishing

The breakfast was my favorite part

The only reason this score is lower is because we hardly spent time at the hotel because we had many activities to do.

Unbelievable view from the balcony - great way to start each morning with a cup of coffee overlooking the old city and Lokrum island! Buga was so friendly and made us feel right at home.

Beautiful hotel in excellent location with very friendly staff

Stay here!

The wine tasting was a fun experience, though low key and quite rustic compared to other areas. Visiting Ston and eating lunch at Konoba Bakus was the highlight. Nothing like fresh mussels and oysters right from the doorstep!

It's a long drive from Split but totally worth it! The waterfalls are incredible to see in person and there is plenty of walking/hiking for nature lovers. We were lucky that there weren't too many people that day so we didn't feel crowded at all.

Really appreciated our captain who was laid back, checked in with us on how we wanted to spend our time and who had drinks and snacks ready for us

Thank you to Stepan and Ivanka for hosting us on this adventure. The waters were choppy so we couldn't jump in all the swim spots, but of course safety wins :) We had a great time touring Vis island and seeing the incredible blue caves. Thank you for having drinks for us to stay refreshed!

Beautiful, comfortable and right in the middle of old town Dubrovnik! Tomas was a great host - very courteous and accommodating! It's been a pleasure!

Beautiful, clean and comfortable hotel, walking distance to most attractions. Amazing breakfast bought right to your room.

Comfortable hotel, close to Plitvice Park. We had two connecting rooms for a family of 4. Very good breakfast!

Great hotel, centrally located in old town Zadar. Easy walking distance to the sea and historical attractions. Nice, spacious rooms and good breakfast.

Lovely, spacious apartment in old town Split. Very convenient location, walking distance to everything! Many restaurants and lots of attractions nearby. We had an amazing stay.

Beautiful hotel in a historic building in the Old town Hvar. Close to everything! Very attentive staff. On top of the best location, Villa Nora had the most amazing breakfast. The rooms are spacious and clean!

My favorite stay in the whole trip in Croatia! Very elegant and had washer/dryer! Very spacey and in the heart of split! Great location! Highly recommend

We enjoyed our stay here! Very nice and spacious. Love that the kids had their own bathroom! Nice location.

Good location but didn’t like the sloped ceilings in the room. Felt claustrophobic to me. Also there’s no elevator.

Great hotel for the area. Spacious rooms for families. Nice outdoors for dining.

Great location! Lovely hotel! Had a nice spread for breakfast in a nice patio! Spacious rooms

The hotel and staff were great. Ate and the restaurant for dinner one night, service and the food were spectacular. Had a great massage in the Spa :)

Make sure you eat at the restaurant, we went with the six course small plates (so much fun).

Where do we even begin? From the moment we arrived in Split, Tonci greeted us with such warm hospitality that immediately made us feel at home. Not only did he assist us with parking and luggage, but he spent ample time providing us with a detailed overview of suggested activities, restaurants, & sights to see. The staff here genuinely care about your time and go above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience possible. As others have mentioned, breakfast packed in the early morning for ease was an added bonus. We were able to contact the staff easily at any time during our stay for questions and further recommendations. Every recommendation he gave was superb! It is apparent that he has immense pride in his beautiful hometown and absolutely loves to share that joy with all who visit. At the end of our visit, Tonci escorted us to the catamaran to safely see us off to our next destination. Like I said, above and beyond service! We will be staying here again should we be given the opportunity to return to Split!

Just beware of the narrow street if you're driving there!

Ivana was extremely knowledgeable about Game of Thrones and the city. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend as we explored the streets of Dubrovnik. Highly recommend her services!

This experience was a highlight of our trip. Learning about the family history, home, and culinary expertise was a delight. We loved harvesting fresh veggies from the garden and the meal we enjoyed was absolutely delicious. Ivo and his family are incredibly kind and welcoming and it was an honor to be welcomed into their home!

The perfect place to stay after spending the day exploring Plitvice Lakes. Having a restaurant next door was perfect.

We were just there overnight and we jetlagged so didn't really do anything. We were glad there was a restaurant on site so we could get a quick dinner before heading to bed.

The room was small and a lower caliber but the beds were comfortable and we loved Ston. I don't think you can get much better accommodations in a small place. The location was great.

The location was great, right by the old city and it was clean and comfortable. We had a bit of trouble figuring out the hot water. The hardest thing for us was the stairs. It was a lot of stairs for older people with bad knees and backs.

The national park was spectacular. A must see stop for anyone visiting Croatia

Beautiful drive and Zadar was very interesting.

We will never forget the lovely wineries Robi chose for us to visit and the countryside was beautiful.

We were disappointed in Mostar but it had nothing to do with Robi. He took us to a great place for lunch and another park that we really enjoyed.

We really enjoyed the visit to the island for lunch and a lovely walk. The day was cut short because we were tired and had to get Covid tests. Robi, you were right, the calamari was terrific.

We absolutely loved this winery! The area was beautiful and the wine makers were lovely.

Easiest arrival after a long flight we have ever had. Thank you Bruno

Robi was prompt and very informative. He made sure we had the experience we wanted.

The hotel was very comfortable and the staff was helpful. Nice to be able to have a good dinner in the hotel after a late arrival. The only fownside is that it is a 20-25 minute walk to the old town and most restaurants.

Very comfortable small hotel, well located, nice staff and nice breakfast with excellent coffee.

Perfectly located very near to the old town golden gate. Very attentive staff and a beautifully restored building. The room was comfortable and well appointed. Excellent.

Such an amazing view from the balcony and very spacious apartment. Location was superb and just uphill from a great swimming beach. Overall very clean and well equipped

The route that Robi had planned was ideal as we were dropped off on top of the plateau and had an incredible cycle down the hill and along the coast with many nice places to stop to admire the view and swim

It was amazing to have a transfer by motorboat and to get to see places that other tourists couldn’t An unforgettable day

small room, uncomfortable bed, awkward shower

no additional comment

convenient location, but accommodations were not comfortable

only downside was the steep stairs to get to room

beautiful nature walk

Very long travel day, disappointed in the city, touristy, crowded, cheap attractions, not what I expected. However, our guide Robert was very helpful in every way, excellent support and service.

Very pleasant break from the routine with boat trip and dining at local restaurant.

Fantastic wines and hospitality of the winemaker's wife was very personal, informative and gracious.
