This was our first time working with KimKim and it was a great experience working with Eric. He helped book hotels, car, and tours in Iceland that met our interests, time frame, and budget. We really enjoyed several of the hikes and activities that he recommended/booked for us (Glymur waterfall - awesome!, Reykjadalur hike with hot springs, and the Hjorleifshofdi Cape + Cave). We also really loved the Puffin tour at Ingolfshofdi cape - such a great experience with a small family business. I would use KimKim again!

Very out of the way (15 min drive each way down a gravel road). This may be a pro for some people, but we didn't need to be that isolated. Also, there is no included breakfast, but there is a lovely kitchenette. The view is nice too!

The room is really small/tight. There were stains on the carpet and sheets. The shower is super small too.

Great tour! So many puffins! We appreciated the cool wagon ride and supporting a small family-owned business.
