Kimkim Trip Reviews

Very Comfortable with yummy breakfast options. Hot springs were wonderful - very clean! Grounds were lovely and we enjoyed the farm. Great organic vegetable garden and lots of animals visiting children enjoyed including milking one of the cows. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Very different from our first hotel but comfortable, right in town, nice breakfast options. Pretty quiet for being in town.

Very comfortable - nice staff - lovely clean pool - great outside sitting area. Right on a busy road so noisy at times and not able to walk anywhere.

Very informative but too much time in the gift shop

Nice hike with lovely views of the volcano. Good signage with a comfy cafe at the finish

Wonderful guides, beautiful relaxed float on the river. Great snacks at the end.

Saw lots of animals and birds but the trail was crowded with other tours. Guide was knowledgeable.

All kinds of hummingbirds but lots of people and the birds were all brought in to feeders

Beautiful private reserve with wide paths, a variety of terrains, cultivated flower gardens, nice views, easy walking, quiet and not ctowded

Not good snorkeling but the kayak was nice but short.

Nice beaches, a little rough for swimming.

Wonderful experience with lots of information about the spices and growing them plus excellent snacks! Snacks included home made ice cream and they provided vegan options!

On steep hill out of town, so taxis needed for transfers. Family room was large but had a huge bath in the bedroom itself and nowhere to sit indoors. Wildlife in the gardens a big compensation. Coatis and many birds.

Extensive gardens and birdlife made up for pretty basic accommodation. Restaurant was not Japanese fusion as described. Hot springs uninviting.

Good quality Hilton hotel in great central location. Comfortable rooms with all facilities.

Good pool surrounded by palms. Our accommodation was a huge apartment on upper floor but we didn't use the dining area or kitchen. Hotel a bit dated with lots of mismatched decor/ornaments. Quirky. Lots of steps everywhere. Staff a bit unapproachable and unhelpful. Restaurant/bar a bit messy and staff appeared particularly unprofessional. Prefer staff who don't sit around on the bar counter area singing along to the piped music, or who clear tables with a lollipop stuck in their mouths. 😯

Great location and helpful cheerful staff. Super open air terrace restaurant/bar on 4th floor. Great food and drinks. Industrial feel of entrance and front desk area, and bare tiled floors in room a bit unwelcoming on late evening arrival, but the whole hotel grew on us. Striking bold murals as decor for our room. No mirror. Quirky.

The rain took the gloss of this tour a little. Great views over the rain forest canopy all the same. With guides help spotted poison dart frogs and an eyelash pit viper. Also spider monkeys very high in the canopy. Animals and birds a bit thin on the ground though despite guides efforts to help us find them.

Great visit. Guides were terrific and took good care of us in the dark. Saw loads of tarantulas and other creatures including sleeping birds and butterflies.

Best ow the two hanging bridge tours we took. Maybe the weather helped. Saw plenty of birds but no sloths. Had chance to walk parts of the trail in our own time without group company. More relaxing experience on narrow bouncy bridges.

Great visit. Lovely to talk to people who are so enthusiastic about rescuing and rehabilitating injured wildlife.

Excellent guides. Showed us birds and wildlife we could never have spotted alone. Opportunity to relax on the beaches in your own time. Smallish park but with loads to see.

Something for everyone but mainly for 15-35 age group and those keen on jumping/diving into pools. Spectacular waterfalls and spacious sandy beach to end with. Lunch included.

Cancelled due volcanic activity - sulphurous fumes.

Mix up between tour operator and KimKim over pick-up time led to rushed start. Good visit though. Helpful guide. Steps down were were more difficult than up. Not much chance to observe wildlife.

Enjoyed Doka Plantation tour. Gardens not so much. Felt had to move at guide's speed and shere guides personal interest in animals and plants.

Really enjoyable visit, made all the better by welcoming hosts and really enthusiastic helpful guide. Amazing insight into language, culture and way of life of indigenous people from 300 years ago. Great chance to try skills needed to live to survive by subsistence hunting, fishing and farming.

Absolutely exquisite hotel. The rooms are lovely. The pool is beautiful. The restaurant menu is so good. The morning buffet breakfast was incredible. The gym had everything and there is a beautiful sauna and stream room. Only issue is the location is not great so we did not go outside the hotel when we works get back after our activities. But the hotel was so amazing that this was fine with us.

Hotel was incredible. Room beautiful. Massages were outstanding. We did that twice. Breakfast buffet was amazing. Pool was gorgeous and pool bar was great. Restaurant for dinner and the buffet breakfast was outstanding.

Hotel was certainly 5-star for Cambodia, but more like 4-star for more developed countries. Food was good, but not amazing…same each day. Room was small for a 5-star hotel. The lobby and restaurant bar were outage so there was no inside seating to get away from the heat. Pools were small, but warm water, such was nice. There was a singer or dance group each evening which was nice. Located on the river, which was also nice.

These two activities were so unusual and fun. The railway market was a blast. The floating market was such an unexpected treat. We had fun buying different things.

We loved each temple and site we visited. Nam was so knowledgeable and took such great care of us.

The Grand Palace was beautiful and exquisite.

Elephant Nature Park is so special. Their treatment of the elephants is purely ethical. We learned so much. Overnight experience is a big recommend. Food is same each day and cafeteria quality only. I had a health emergency after dinner after all staff were gone. There was no mention in the introduction of what to do in an emergency. There should be accessible staff on site 24/7 who have first aid training and supplies. I got dizzy and my speech was slurred. It took 30 minutes for us to talk to an RN in the United States. Likely my blood pressure dropped from the heat. I could have been given electrolytes and some basic care. Chi Chi was an amazing guide!!

Chi Chi was so great. We loved our experience with the elephants. Per Day 1 review, huge issue that there is not available staff and first aid 24/7.

Kate is awesome! Knowledgeable and caring. We really enjoyed each site visited. Rickshaw was fun.

So fun!

This was such a beautiful surprise. SO much more than coming. Learn about Lanna history and customs. Walk through property to see the exotic trees and learn. Meet generations from the family.

Feng is so incredible. He shared not only any Cambodian history and Buddhism but shared his personal moving story. We loved our time with him. He took such good care of us. The sites were gorgeous.

Beautiful sites!!

Very moving experience as the people living here have such awful living conditions and extreme poverty.

The rooms were great and the staff was excellent.

Great location, so beautiful. The front desk staff was excellent, and we had a great time at the onsite Pub.

Really disappointed in this hotel. The rooms are cold and stale. The area of town it is in, is not the best.

The sauna was beautiful and the water was cold. It was a total blast!

Staff was great.

Beautiful!

Very interesting and fun. Our guide was outstanding. We lucked out with some great weather.

Very nice hotel. Both times we stayed there was no electricity and that meant no internet, no hot water and no food. Besides from that, very friendly staff.

Beautiful cozy hotel. Very friendly staff. Breakfast is continental but good.

Great hotel and has a pool which made it so much better

Our host Astrid was very nice and helpful. She was patient with us and answered all our questions. Lunch in the highlands was delicious.

Learned lots of stuff, very interesting and Astrid our guide was very nice.

We went to Barrolomé. We had a stop first with a little walk, it was at noon and there is no shade. The guide was making stops along the way to explain things but climbing steps at noon with no shade was terrible. Would be better if they explained on the boat so we could do the walk without stopping. The snorkeling part was amazing, wish we could have had more time.

Best tour we had on our trip. The views are amazing, nice guide he even took photos and gave them to us. Captain even let me drive the boat for a while.

Nice activity. The guide was not very helpful though, wouldnt explain much and seemed king of mad. Beatifil views though and the penguins were amazing.

Located just across from the beach and a short walk to the city center. Nice pool and good breakfast. Just wish the bar area was open later.

We were only there for an overnight stay. Nice facility and friendly staff. The Room were very nice and clean. Has a pool, but we didn't have time to use it. Others in the pool were enjoying it.

Driver was friendly and knew the areas we went past or stopped at. a good taste of Sydney and provided ideas ot things to do or place to go.

We had a beautiful clear night to see all of the stars. The sky just lit up. The bugs in April are quite annoying until the sun goes down. Buy a head netting to keep them off of your face. Once the sun goes down, they all disappear. Beautiful vies of Ayers Rock

What a great time riding the camels. We had the early morning ride, watching the sunrise and seeing Ayers Rock. We beat the bugs for most of the trip. Again, We suggest netting to cover your head.

Had our share of rain, but that's nature. Nice area. Couldn't figure out what restaurants were going to be open because they would be open one day and closed the next. Beautiful drive from the Cairnes airport to Port Douglas along the water.

So much to do. A lot of Crocs. Eating and getting up-close with the Koala bear was interesting. Many different animals and reptiles to see.

Had to cancel, dues to the weather. This was a bucket list for us. Was not the company's fault. Blame nature. I hate to give it a rating, but the system would let me move forward with the reviews.

Due to weather, the rail was cancelled. The sky rail was great and the views were spectacular. The waterfall was roaring, due to all the rain that had come down the previous days.

It's called Blue Mountains for a reason. The beautiful blue tones the area gives off.

Hotel Malts is a lovely hotel in the center of Haarlem, which is a charming bike and pedestrian friendly city. Henk and Annemarie are wonderful hosts. The highlight of our stay was the delicious daily breakfast: croissants, cheeses, hard and soft boiled eggs, yogurt, cappuccino, and fresh squeezed orange juice.

We started with apple pie in a traditional brown cafe and went on to have Indonesian food, stroopwafels, etc. Spending time with a local (Ferry!) was the best.

This hotel was not part of our program. We cannot comment on it.

The sign outside the hotel says 3 stars from Jordan. Our room was clean, which is the most important part. But the hotel smelled like cigarette smoke almost everywhere. It is very dated and could use renovations.

Room was not clean - the bathroom even still had shaving whiskers on the sink. We were moved to another room, but in this one the coffee/tea cups were dirty. There was no cold water in the evening and no hot water in the morning for showering. This was a camp where we were the only non-Arabic people. Supper was great, but knowing that culturally many many people smoke is important to know because we had people all around us smoking. Supper was BBQ done underground and we saw the meat and rice being taken out. That was amazing! The camp lights prevented us from seeing many stars.

Clean. Amazing staff. Buffet restaurant had a huge selection, including gluten free.

Our greeter was efficient but did not explain much or engage in conversation. D

Jarash was our favourite! The Roman Ruins are so well preserved (keeping in mind they are 2000 years old) and even have the largest fountain besides the Trevi fountain!

Our guide Mohammed was super helpful and took lots of pictures for/of us. His English was excellent and he had lots of knowledge to share. And he bought us coffee. And made very good suggestions for gifts to buy.

Be prepared to get sand between your toes!

This was something we wanted to do and added it to the trip. You have to go in a group and ride a bus into the site and then there is about an hour (broken up) of walking. It was 30 degrees and sunny so make sure to have plenty of water and sunscreen.

Unfortunately the church in Madaba is undergoing repairs. But the mosaic was really cool!

Everything about this Riad is great. Especially the kind staff, the amazing food, the mood, beautiful room and location near the medina. We were very happy whit the choice of accommodation.

Very nice Riad, with kind staff, however a bit noisy

Close to the airport, super friendly portier. However it was very noisy and the shower didn't work.

It was a good location, but the rooms were dirty and the beds uncomfortable

We loved our local guide in Fes, who were our favorite. He knew a lot about the history and we learned about the history, the monarchy, politics, architecture and culture of Morocco. Especially the Jewish Quarter was very exicting. He was very kind to the kids and patient.

Volubilis was very exciting. We love history and this was just down our alley

The guidede tour was very nice. I liked the red thread through out all of the Imperial Cities with the walls surrounding the medinas, the Jewish quarter, the king palaces etc. With the help from our guide I found some lovely carpets and we were invited to see places that we otherwise would not have found ourselves. Compared to Fes, we found Marrakech a bit overcrowded and touristic. However it was Eid and happy days.

It was very lovely to have some time for ourselves, enjoying the city and plan the day in our own speed. I had under estimated the program with three minors and they were very tired by the end of our vacation. So for my next trip I would arrange more days like these and then skip some cities. However I regret nothing about our plan.

I love Casablanca and our local guide who took the time even though it was eid. He was very passionated and tought us much about Morocco, the culture and history.

We were so tired and ready to relax when reached Rabat, but I am so happy that our guide insisted on showing us the Hassan Mosque and Mohammed V Mausoleum.

Halong Bay is certainly worth exploring as a natural wonder, but the massive amount of tourists makes this a little bit of a lesser experience for us. I would advise exploring the alternatives around it as you will probably encounter less tourist

Still a lesser known region, so you get to see some magnificent rice fields with almost no tourists. This is a certainly an interesting place when the rice fields up north are not yet planted like in these months of April and May
