Kimkim Trip Reviews for Slovenia

Very comfortable hotel in a great location, only a few minutes walk from the lake. Great breakfast buffet. Friendly and helpful staff. Added bonus of self-service tea and coffee round the clock.

A very comfortable hotel in a great location overlooking the main plaza and a stone's throw from the harbour. Friendly and helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast. A slight issue with the plumbing in our room was dealt with swiftly.

A very comfortable hotel with only a short walk to the city centre and riverside. Friendly and helpful staff. A La Carte breakfast, ordered the night before. Bistro incorporated so that food and drinks were available to purchase throughout the day.

Great to taste unique sheep's cheese where it was produced. Slight issue with over friendly wasps - obviously not something that could really be avoided given the time of year.

Fabulous wine in a lovely location. Interesting tour of the cellars and production area. Delicious food to go with the wine.

We were lucky to be the only visitors on the tour. Our guide was clearly passionate about the horses and we learnt a lot from her. It was fortunate that we saw the mares and foals returning to the stables at the end of the afternoon as our visit was late in the season and we weren't able to see a show or any stallions out training. We did get lovely close-up views of horses in their stalls.

A very relaxing way to see more of the city. No commentary on the trip.

A lovely way to get to the island. Nice to ride on a traditional boat. Time was limited to 45mins on the island and it would have been nice to have had longer as there was quite a lot to see.

Really nice hotel in a good location and friendly helpful staff

Beautiful hotel. The room was comfortable and actually had a side view of the sea. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The location was good as it was close to the promenade with good access to restaurants and bars.

Great trip with beautiful views. You end the trip with a champagne toast.

An incredible attentive, exceptional, friendly, and polite hotel staff. If I'm ever in Rovinj, I won't hesitate to book this hotel again.

Very charming little B&B that was a short walk from town. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable and the included breakfast was fresh and plentiful. They had bikes to rent at a very reasonable price, though we just walked everywhere. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely little hotel nestled among the grapevines of the Goriska Brda wine region. So close to so many wineries, we wished we had stayed more than 1 night. We really liked soaking in the pool, which had a panoramic view of the hills.

Fantastic tour, our guide gave us a great overview of Bled and its history. She was very friendly and personable, and offered such great context for the sights we visited.

This felt like a very authentic experience, and we really appreciated visiting Petra and Niko in their home. They food they taught us how to make was really good and I can't wait to try it out here at home

The water level was quite low, leaving many rocks exposed which required quite a bit of technical maneuvering. Our guide was great at that, but we still got quite the workout! It was such a great way to experience the beauty of the Bovec area. We couldn't get over how clear and clean the water was.

This was our first time doing "wet" canyoning and it was really fun! The climb uphill was no joke though.

Our private tour guide was great, she knew so much about the history of the mine.

Excellent tour of the winery and tastings. Our host was super knowledgeable and we loved the introduction to Slovenian wines.

This was rather touristy, especially compared to Skojan Caves, but the sheer size of it was so impressive. So despite it feeling touristy, I'd still recommend it as a stop

This was nice. I wouldn't go out of the way to visit, but I'm glad we stopped here. We're not really horse people, but I did feel like I learned a bit during the tour

A gorgeous hotel right in the city centre. Staff were exceptional, the food was amazing, the room was beautiful. We couldn’t fault this hotel.

A good location, nice staff but a resort hotel with lots of pink themed things around, a pink biclyce, pink artwork (maybe the colour was rose- the hotel name) the hotel glowed pink at night, which was a little odd and maybe retro tacky? I guess Lake Bled is a resort for many however so maybe we were missing the point. The advertising was odd, a video on loop as you entered, looking like a hen weekend sort of place. The rooms and facilities were really good and comfortable however. As was the breakfast and helpfulness of the staff.

Great accommodation, beautiful rooms and very spacious and near a few walking trails. Other guests were noisy outside until quite late but it was a place for families and holiday season. We enjoyed the breakfast basket which was wonderful. We were a bit confused about the hot tub and sauna procedures on site as there was no shower for either or a changing room and when we booked it for the next day the hot tub water was cold. Also it wasn’t private they could be looked straight into from other people’s accommodations. Nobody was on site to help in the evenings at reception. Maybe we missed a point here.

Great food for dinner and a lovely view from the hotel outside. The room was comfortable and it was a great location for hiking. Unfortunately lots of smoking outside at breakfast from other tables whilst eating but that just seems to be the case in Slovenia not the fault of the hotel. Didn’t see the point in a swimming pool and sun loungers in this beautiful setting but other guest seemed to enjoy that.

The team were very professional and safe and we felt very looked after. We were not aware that we were going to kayak on rapids however our tour company who booked this communicated and calm and relaxing time kayaking on the river. It was not calm and required some skill so not suitable for beginners we think.

We had a wonderful time enjoying food preparation and eating lunch. It was amazing to be part of a family to enjoy such delicious food.

Alenka was an amazing tour guide, she was so knowledgeable and interesting and could answer any question. It was a top notch experience. 10/10.

Alenka was amazing. Truly the best. Intelligent, knowledgeable and kind we loved her tours. She even took us to her favourite local cake and gelato place we wouldn’t have stumbled upon otherwise as she grew up in the area. Amazing!

An amazing experience I couldn’t fault it, very professional and funny we felt part of the experience and helped dismantle the balloon at the end. The views were amazing.

Liza the hiking guide was fantastic. She was so experienced and a real inspiration. She was funny and so knowledgeable. We were so happy to have her expert knowledge. It was an amazing day.

Such an amazing place. It was very popular with lots of people but we still really enjoyed this natural wonder. Breathtakingly beautiful caves.

This hotel was the best of our trip. It was cute, perfectly located, nestled in a courtyard off the street, and the staff was wonderful.

The hotel was nice enough, but it would have been better to be closer in to town, and this one was probably our least favorite because the beds were hard.

I wish we could have spent more time here to take advantage of all the amenities. The hotel was adorable & our room was quite large (& not just because it had 3 beds). The restaurant was excellent, which was nice because we got in so late.

This might have been our least favorite hotel. The bathrooms were inconveniently laid out & the bathroom door was wobbly & loud. The vibe wasn't as nice as the other, more modern, hotels, and the food at the restaurant was just mediocre. Check-in & check-out took so much longer than everywhere else & the staff wasn't particularly friendly.

A great hotel. Great food, felt luxurious (our room was huge, but my daughter's not so much). The location was perfect -- right on the lake, but with parking. The staff was helpful, and the breakfast was terrific. My only complaint was that, for a luxury hotel, they missed on a few details: the cosmetics mirror was broken in our room, as was the toilet paper holder (which meant the paper kept falling off onto the floor).

The kids (young adults) loved this activity & were fascinated. Our host was excellent & informative & we learned a lot about bees & beekeeping from her. The honey-tasting was fun and educational as well. My one complaint was that there wasn't enough time scheduled for this event. While it only took one hour for the tour & discussion, we were supposed to arrive early for our next activity at 11 & that meant that we didn't have enough time for the honey-tasting or to try anything at the honey cafe. This event shouldn't be scheduled so close to another timed event, as most people would need at least 90 minutes at the beekeeper's shop and possibly close to 2 hours.

This was a fantastic, rigorous hike. Our guide, Luka, was knowledgeable about the whole area & taught us a lot (& he was pretty easy on the eyes too!). It was nice having him to guide us, as selecting the path could get a bit confusing. As athletic as he was, he was also good at adjusting his pace to ours. I'm glad we summitted by one route & came down by another. The view from the top was amazing. The mountain hut was also perfectly placed for a good -- and seemingly authentic -- snack on the way down. I'm also glad we started early because, even though rain didn't turn out to be an issue, that left us sufficient time to explore more of Bled in the afternoon.

This was a terrific experience & the kids loved it. People should be warned that one not only needs to be fit for the experience, but REALLY fit (although I managed at age 66). I might have preferred to start this activity somewhat earlier in the day because, with a 4:30 pm start, it got a little chilly -- & rushed -- toward the end. One of the guides was great (Peter?) -- kind, encouraging, & sweet -- but the other was a little pushy & negative with the members of the group, who were a bit more cautious (all women). He kept complaining that the group was too large, but that wasn't our fault.

This activity was wonderful. It was exciting & just generally delightful. We all loved most of our guides -- Martin, Joseph, & Mimi (not so much Robert) -- & they were determined to make the experience fun. I will admit that I had trouble getting off the ground & my tandem guide (Robert) got pretty snappy about the way I kept falling & screwing up our launch. Fortunately, Mimi (the driver) insisted that there was no quitting in paragliding & she gave me some encouragement & feedback that, ultimately, helped me get airborne with Robert on our 5th try. We also learned a lot from all the guides -- about paragliding, about Slovenia & Slovenian history, & about the impact of climate change on paragliding.

Plitvice is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, & we loved the hike. We were delighted with the K Hike because a significant portion of the trail took us away from the crowds (which were the only downside to Plitvice). We really enjoyed hiking with Tara, although it was clear that she was a knowledgeable guide & a sweet young women, but not a great or experienced hiker. She struggled with the uphill portion of the K hike. But she pushed through, which was impressive.

Clean and comfortable.

Great location in the valley, with wonderful views.

Very new building with all the comforts of home.

This is a top-notch hotel.

An older hotel that is up-to-date in the respects you want.

Perfect guide.

Wonderful guide, very friendly and fun.

The top of our grandson's trip.

A unique visit of the cave. It was a well-planned tour.

Rustic boutique hotel with a fantastic location and tremendous management/staff. The breakfast in the morning is a visual feast for the eyes and stomach. The staff could not be any more helpful, generous and friendly! Though there are few "amenities", the aesthetic setting and ideal location for hiking trumps any concerns one might have on more amenities.

While the spa is amazing, the rooms are small, dated and the bathroom had several fixtures that needed to be repaired/weren't functioning properly. The spa (which seems very new) compensates for the "dated", small rooms. Also, location is pretty isolated...we made the best of it by enjoying some nearby hikes, but otherwise, I wouldn't go back to this hotel.

Fantastic hotel in a fantastic location....everything about the hotel was superb (room/bathroom/amenities and onsite MIchelin Restaurant!)

Fantastic experience going on a jeep and exploring the "back" roads of the vineyards, weaving our way through the various borders b/w Italy & Slovenia and learning the history of the area and its ability to sustain itself through wars, Covid and political upheavals. We thoroughly enjoyed the personal experience of meeting a 4th generation vintner and his family, tasting their wines, and enjoying their homemade prociutto, salami's, cheese, honey and of course...wine!

Thoroughly enjoyed the bread-baking experience and the bee-keeper/honey tasting, but I think this would be better without the "local lunch", as it makes for a long day and really doesn't "add" to the experience.

Absolutely LOVED this hotel! Such charm. And the staff were warm and caring. Felt like staying with family.

Another of our favorites. Wonderful staff. Beautiful

Simply beautiful.

Fun experience. And the family was very nice.

Amazing views.

Great location. Very friendly staff. outstanding breakfast. A historic hotel in the center of town. Only feedback from us: the room was a bit small and cramped, including bathroom

What a view of the Julian Alps and the Logar Valley from our room! Room was spacious and lovely. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Our dinner there as more "traditional' and 'fussy' in Slovenian cuisine. Though tasty, we do prefer more modern cuisine. That is a personal preference.

Lovely large room and bathroom. Walking distance within minutes to Lake Bled and its surroundings. Had a nice 'Alpine' charm to it. The restaurant which we dined in once was delicious -- all very well prepared. Great and varied breakfast too. Very pleasant staff at reception, in restaurant and the owners.

A beautiful boutique hotel in a beautiful setting surrounded by mountains. The room was lovely with views from all windows. We were disappointed in the bathroom. It contained a claw foot tub with a hand held shower, but did not contain either stand up in the tub for showering or a stand alone shower. As tall people who are used to showers, this was a disappointment. Their breakfast was amazing in how it was beautifully displayed and the quality and the choices. Staff were lovely!

The best location in the Old Town on a quiet street. Very atmospheric to be in old quarters with its rooms in several separate entrances around the reception. Staff were wonderful. A bit difficult to find the distant parking area, but the staff were outstanding in picking us up with electric cart to take us into the Old Town and to the hotel (one cannot drive into the Old Town), as well as o n departure taking us with luggage back to car. Our first room had issues in that the hotel key to turn on lights resulted in dimming out to nothing after a few minutes! While this could not be repaired, there was a similar room next door that we were able to move into and that worked well. Room was charming and adequate size (not spacious); the bathroom was a bit small for two adults.

Who knew this existed in Slovenia?!?!? We were certainly aware of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna from past European trips. Very interesting tour! We appreciated the private tour as we saw lots of group tours while were there that appeared to be crowded. Our guide was very informative. She told us about the show and offered us the opportunity to attend it for an additional 7 euro per person (above what had been paid for the private tour) We were lucky enough to have our tour on a Friday afternoon, right before the horse show which is only offered then (or perhaps at one other time in the week?). This was most enjoyable!!!

Our guide (?Ekelena? -- pardon the spelling!!) was terrific -- knowledgeable, nice, informative and did cover all the highlights in the given time. We would certainly recommend her for others!

Our guide (also ?Ekelena? by name!! -- excuse the spelling!) was terrific. Very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of Slovenia, Croatia and the former Yugoslavia (and of Tito). Not sure there is much in Bled itself for a guide to expound upon (unlike eg Ljublijana or Trieste) , but she filled the time with teaching us about other things. The Pletna boat ride is a bit touristy but the only way to get to the very interesting island and church. We enjoyed sitting down there in cafe and having coffee and traditonal cake with her.

Demian (?spelling) was an outstanding guide. We learned so much about the history of Trieste and Istria in a well balance way of understanding its complex history. He spent a bit more time than the allotted time to show us as much as possible. Friendly, intelligent and with good humor, Demian (as a Slovenian with a personal history for Istria and Trieste going back to his grandparents, etc) made this beautiful city come to life for us . This was our favorite tour of the entire trip for sure!

A great way to start the trip, the guide was very helpful.

This was the highlight of my trip. Although I was reluctant to be in a hot air balloon, but it was so surreal.

One of the best locations to do a zipline

A very friendly family with a long history in truffle hunting. The hosts were very welcoming and you can feel their excitement in sharing their history and truffle story
