Kimkim Trip Reviews

The staff are so friendly and the breakfast is amazing. We also have to say that the beds are so comfortable. If we ever go back to Venice we would love to stay here again.

Very close to the airport, good food and friendly staff. Lovely, secure grounds and comfortable rustic room. No mosquito net but we didn’t see any. Sun goes of the pool fairly early in the afternoon as the trees shade it .

We loved this place and really weren’t expecting to from the photos! Views are fantastic. The pool is amazing. The food is good, despite the hotel being in the middle of nowhere. The room is fairly basic but has everything you need including a mosquito net. The camp is home to ring tail lemurs who happily roam around and jump up and down on your roof at 6am. I loved being able to fit and watch them for hours.

Wow. Amazing view, amazing room , amazing staff and amazing food. The best food we ate anywhere- delicious and stylish presentation . Congratulations to the chefs.

We only stayed here one night and they weren’t doing food that evening. We found the room cramped and dark, with lots of mosquitoes. I did swim in the murky pool but half expected a creature to emerge from the deep! clean and adequate gor a night in the road.

Lovely hotel in. spectacular and extensive grounds adjacent to the river . Modern comfortable room and en-suite. Good and well used outdoor bar area. Natural thermal spa pools are worth booking. This is a really interesting and beautiful town to wander around with an outdoor swimming pool, riverside walks etc . A great base for the national park. We also visited Setam Lodge for lunch - amazing zebu steak.

Standard rooms but comfortable. Good food with availability through the day and evening - obviously popular with locals who leave their kids in the pool while they eat. Also used by airline crews. Great pool, good service - we were impressed as it had everything we needed to relax before travelling home.

We only stayed here one night and arrived mid afternoon so the sun had gone of the pool and we didn’t get to enjoy our whacky outdoor space. Accommodating staff who were very kind when I wasn’t well. Cash only for settling up for food and drinks. Amazing huge room and bathroom which was lovely, but poor sound proofing! Sadly I didn’t try the menu

Great hotel. Beautiful room, location, facilities, grounds, staff, pool, beach and bar. Only thing that stops this being a 5 is the food which we found disappointing. Breakfast was fabulous and breakfast staff lovely we found the evening menu largely disappointing and there were obvious tensions amongst the staff . We would still recommend this hotel for everything else.

Air France left our luggage in Paris, and that of a number of other travellers who had originally boarded a connection in London. The flight arrived late in Madagascar so the extra hassle after a long flight was particularly unwelcome. Luckily we weren’t leaving the capital straight away but I’m sure it caused real issues for people departing early next day. We were met and transferred perfectly and our driver was very patient whist we tried to sort things out. The airport staff were also very helpful. Note: luggage not arriving on this route is not unusual . There is no Friday flight, so if you travel on a Thursday and your bags don’t arrive then they will come out on Saturday night - and if you’re not there at the airport to pick them up they are unlikely to follow you until Sunday or Monday. Transfer itself was perfect.

We chose not to do this . Spent time chilling after late night and shopping to find essentials until our luggage arrived

Great day seeing the islands. Our boat driver and guides were fantastic. Lunch was cooked for us and was one of the best meals we had all holiday. We hadn’t appreciated how much shopping was part of the experience at Nosy Komba so would probably have taken more cash with us . The shopping and stalls leading up to the nature park were colourful and interesting - but be prepared for pressure to buy. (although please do buy to support the community)The reserve was busy but our guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour and the plants and creatures we saw made it really worthwhile. The black lemurs are attracted and fed with bananas to encourage them on to visitors shoulders for photos . And yes, you can expect poos! An interesting island, this contrasted well with Tanikely which we loved. Beautiful beach , snorkelling over coral, tropical fish and turtles. This is a protected island - we saw bee eaters too.

We didn’t do this activity . We live in a dark sky area of the UK!

Oh my goodness....loved, loved, loved this place. It was so charming and the grounds were lovely and peaceful. We had a Junior Suite, which meant small bedroom with a separate sitting room. Everything was well appointed, clean and just lovely. We had a spectacular view from all three of our windows on the second floor.. Breakfast and late lunch food was excellent and the service was unbelievable. We never had dinner there. Would definitely go back to this location again, and have already recommended it to friends.

The hotel was immaculately clean and bright. My favorite area was the outdoor seating area for breakfast. Only went to the rooftop bar once to take in the view, but it was nice. The service thought out the hotel was exceptional and we had a nice view of the sea. Well appointed rooms and an easy walk to places of interest in Sorrento.

Delightful guide as she was knowledgable and so sweet. Bless her heart...too much wine for me so she worried a bit about me on the uneven stone walkways.

Very happy that we saw a bit of the Amalfi Coast. Our favorite town was Ravello as it was beautiful and not as crowded. We missed seeing the town of Amalfi due to slow traffic and a slow lunch service in Ravello. It was a beautiful view of Ravello, but they completely forgot our order, until we finally asked. So that took away from our tour time.

Delightful. The chef instructor was wonderful, the group was fun, and the view from the cooking school was beautiful.

Sad to say that we missed this because I got my nights mixed up. My mistake! Sure that it would have need wonderful as it was something that we were looking forward to.

Cute hotel - clean rooms - great staff! Perfect location next to Borough Market and so much great food!!!

We were only here one evening but this hotel has a great location - close to the downtown area. The rooms were neat ahc clean! We had a bit more room in these units that was much appreciate!

This was our favorite hotel of the places we stayed. The lobby is so cute and fun. Great breakfast and the staff were kind. Perfect location - close to the Shambles. We were only here for one night - we'd definitely stay here again and if we're back would like to spend 2 days in York.

Great location!!! Walking distance to royal mile. 4 stars only because the bathrooms were a little odd.

We were only here one night, and we came in late and left really early. We didn't really have a chance to spend time in the area. The lobby was clean - the staff was great. The room was nice because it was the only place we all 4 got to be together in one room. The room was clean but definitely needed a few touch ups in the bathrooms. Nothing crazy - we just noticed peeling paint, other handyman stuff.

We stopped in Liverpool for this tour - my daughter and husband love the Beatles. They enjoyed this tour.

This was a great tour especially given the location - we went through the Borough Market which was right around the corner from where we stayed. The guide was very knowledgeable about food in the market but also the history of London. Two of us are vegetarian and he accommodated our dietary lifestyle with ease.

I love these tours - we didn't get to complete the whole route as we hopped on late...but what we did get to see was fantastic!

The beefeaters are great guides - lots of humor. We chose to do the 45-minute guided tour with them as opposed to the self-guided audio tour.

This was one of our longer days but totally worth the time. The guide was humorous and knowledgeable. The coach was comfortable. My favorite was Stonehenge - my family loved Bath the most.

One of our favorite days! None of really watch sports but we fell in love with Ted Lasso and wanted to see a match in person. What an experience! I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting.

I love Harry Potter - probably more than our kids! We had a great time at the studios.

Another long day trip but worth it. The campuses are beautiful! I just wish had a bit more time in each location. They allotted about 1.5 hours at each stop. Once we finished walking through, we didn't have a ton of time to walk through the town squares.

Afternoon tea was a treat! And a great break in the day at the castle. The castle is impressive - we came through the front entrance at the Royal Mile. To truly see how expansive this castle is, walk around the outside of the grounds and view from the back side. It is enormous, and terrifying, and beautiful!

The drive from Edinburgh to Aberfeldy was beautiful. The guides at Highland Safari Park are knowledgeable and you can tell they really and care about what they are doing. We had a great time here. The deer experience on the grounds was neat and we got to feed them. The Safari was fun off roading and we got to view stags through telescope lens in their natural habitat. It was mating season so you could hear them everywhere!

Great location on Copacabana beach and the staff were very friendly and looked after guests coming in and out. Rooms were clean and spacious and ideal to lounge in during the evening, shame they did not have smart TVs but there was a large section of free channels. Had a lot of choice for breakfast and the rooftop bar had great views of the surrounding area.

It was adequate for a nights stay but felt the hotel lacked character.

Considering this was in the Amazon the lodge was amazing. Staff were amazing and super helpful and had fun with google translate to communicate some of the conversations. We were really well looked after, the food was tailor made for my wife as she was a vegetarian. Rooms were clean and comfortable and given the location you have to expect some bugs, we had fun with 2 tree frogs in the room, but they were harmless. AC unit in the room was a god send as even thought there was no wifi or tv in the room it was fine as all the activities planned throughout the day meant we were on the go most the time.

Had an excelled guide and she knew all the tricks to skip the queues which meant we maximised our time at Sugar Loaf. Having a drink and some nibbles on the terrace bar was amazing as the views were spectacular ...shame it was misty as we did not get to see the sunset but you can imagine it would be spectacular. There was even a DJ performing at the top and there was a very safe and friendly vibe with all the locals and visitors.

Once again our guide knew all the tricks to get us through quickly and best places to sit on the tram and for pictures at the top.

Really insightful walking tour and nice and lovely local authentic lunch

Lovely hike, just the right pace and not too challenging. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Spectacular views at the top.

The boat trip our of Manaus was lovely but then the speedboat trip to our lodge was spectacular. Bus transfer was a bit squashed as we have lots of out tourists so the only negative would be to have a slightly larger mode of transfer or not over book passengers

All the activities were amazing and very varied and insightful, our guide was excellent and looked after us extremely well

It was sad to leave the Amazon and the transfer back seemed to quicker and after a drop off to downtown Manaus we were safely dropped off if good time at the airport.

Perfect distance from dunes. Lovely cabins and helpful staff. Great food and views

The Windhoek Luxury Suites was absolutely fine and very helpful. It's conveniently located near a supermarket and you can eat across the road at a beautiful place. The area is secure, though at first, the security features made it seem like it might be closed, which was a bit confusing. Overall, a great start to our trip.

Swakopmund Luxury Suites was a bit disappointing despite the amazing staff and great location close to the sea and restaurants. We were excited to have the best room, with a lovely view and facilities, but several issues like a broken TV, clogged shower, and sink problems weren't fully resolved. It's a beautiful area, but the maintenance problems were a letdown.

Twyfelfontein Country Lodge was hard to find due to lacking signage, but once located, it was a decent stay. The instructions to reach it needed improvement. The written directions were essential in finding our way. Be aware that WiFi at the lodge isn't complimentary as stated on the app—you have to pay for it and it only works in the bar and restaurant area.

Etosha South Safari Camp was in a great position just outside the park. The staff was really helpful, and we enjoyed the communal dining and music. A perfect spot for self-driving in the park and made for a wonderful end to our holiday.

The hotel room was compact but clean and practical. Although there was no air conditioning and the walls were quite thin—I could hear the neighbors overnight—I still slept very well. The breakfast was excellent, and the location was unbeatable, with easy access to shops, eateries, and the London Underground. The area felt safe and was very accessible, making it a worthwhile stay despite the minor inconveniences.

The Malmaison Hotel in Oxford is truly in a unique location. I absolutely loved my room—it was beautifully and appropriately decorated, with decent ventilation, a comfortable bed, and a lovely bathroom with a fantastic shower. The restaurant was incredible, offering an unforgettable dining experience. But what truly stood out was the staff. They made me feel incredibly welcome and genuinely cared for. I had just been in a minor car accident right before my arrival, and the staff showed such understanding and compassion as I checked in after a tough situation. Their kindness made all the difference in my stay.

The hop-on hop-off bus was a lot of fun and a great way to see several sights in London in the open air. The staff were very friendly, and the onboard experience was excellent. I especially enjoyed the drive through Knightsbridge, even with the traffic—it gave me time to take in the beautiful surroundings. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

The late evening river cruise was an amazing experience. The opportunity to capture photos and take in the expansive views of London at a leisurely pace exceeded my expectations. While the dinner was a bit awkward since I was traveling solo and surrounded by couples and families, I still valued the experience. The food was average—comparable to what you'd expect at a large wedding reception—but the overall ambiance and perspective of London made it worthwhile.

This was an incredibly immersive historical experience. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the unique history of this location, with architecture reflecting different periods over time. The Crown Jewels exhibition was absolutely incredible, and I loved the afternoon views of the Tower Bridge set against the London skyline. Overall, I learned a great deal and found the visit both educational and highly enjoyable.

Clean, comfortable and close to major attractions. The breakfast is also nice!

Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms. It was clean, comfortable and the closeness to the waterfront was nice.

Gorgeous hotel. Clean, comfortable, and being right on the beach was a huge plus.

Laura was a wonderful guide! So knowledgable and helpful in giving us a fantastic experience.

Pedro and Chris were so nice and helpful. They zipped us around Rome with speed and we got to taste delicious foods and see sites off the beaten path that we would not have been able to access as easily on our own.

Our guide Sev was a font of knowledge, guiding us through the often overwhelming halls of the Vatican with humor and his endless insight of the art and history.

Alessandro at Rimessa Roscioli was fantastic! His knowledge and passion for wine and food was infectious. The restaurant, especially the private wine tasting dining room, was super nice and homey. The wines and foods were also superb.

Anna Maria was such a sweet guide. Since we had already done some walking around on our own, we skipped a few of the usual tourist spots and Anna Maria was grateful to get to go "off script" a bit and take us to some places she usually doesn't go to.

The rooftop opera concert on the Terazza Borromino was such a thoughtful touch! It really was special and even the light sprinkle of rain didn't put a damper on the evening.

Ivan was a nice guide, taking us around to places we'd never thing to visit on our own or places that would be difficult for first-timers to get to. His knowledge of the history of Naples was so fascinating and impressive.

This was such a treat! Everyone at the Cantina del Vesuvio was so enthusiastic about us making the most of the experience while serving up delicious wines and food in a stunning setting. A real highlight of the trip!

Andrea was great! It was tough for us 3 tall guys to fit in the tiny car but once we rolled the top down we were good to go! The sights along the winding road to Positano were incredible and Andrea took such fantastic pictures of us and the car in some of the most beautiful settings you could imagine.

We love LaLa! She was so sweet and helpful in guiding us through the process of making limoncello and the tasting, giving us a glimpse into her family's business, Valenti Positano. Besides the limoncello, we got to sample many more of the tasty treats Valenti makes.

The private day excursion to Sintra, Cascais, and Estoril was fantastic. Our guide was not only lovely but truly knew the best timings to visit each destination, allowing us to explore before the crowd of tour buses arrived. This made our experience feel personal and serene as if we had the sites to ourselves. The guide was incredibly flexible, allowing us to adapt our plans to fit our interests and pace, including accommodating a special lunch request. It was a day well spent, and we loved every moment of it!

The private river boat experience on the Douro River was a highlight of our trip. It was a special anniversary celebration, and the two young men who took us on the boat were lovely. Thanks to our specialist Marina, we had a bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us, making the occasion even more special. It felt personalized and intimate, exactly what we wanted. The attention to detail and the effort to make it a memorable day were much appreciated!

Great location & amazing breakfast with city views. Staff was wonderful

Our guide as terrific. History & details walking all over the city, followed by the wine tasting. Overall great

Great way to see Belem, monastery & the wonderful custard tarts!

Beautiful way to see the caves & coast

Marissa suggested this stop. What a great town/ city. Love the mix of the charming town with the beach & coast.
