Kimkim Trip Reviews

Great hotel for kids. Very clean, lots of activities. Enjoyed our stay

Great hotel. Like a little bed and breakfast. Great, friendly staff. Out of Odense city, so good if you have a car to use.

Great to stay at with kids! A must do! Really neat setup. Kids loved it, including the treasure hunt. Awesome theme.

Great hotel. Amazing location. Smaller rooms, but workable. No A/C, which made it hot, but other wise, great!

Really neat experience. A must do!

A must do with kids in Denmark. Great experience

This was probably our favorite hotel of the trip. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. The location was also very convenient for exploring Tokyo.

The Kyoto Tokyu Hotel was very accommodating, especially with providing a wheelchair for use during our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making our stay quite pleasant.

The ryokan experience was nice, though it wasn't exactly what we were looking for. It had the traditional feel but lacked some of the authenticity we expected. This was partly our fault for not researching thoroughly.

The Cross Hotel in Osaka was centrally located, which was its best feature. However, the wheelchair provided with our tour vehicle was not the best, and the hotel wouldn't let us use their better wheelchair outside the premises. This was a bit inconvenient.

The location of this hotel was fantastic. Very walkable, safe. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed

This hotel was top of the line. The service was excellent, the room impressive. The location was great too.

The hotel has a great view of the marina. The room was nice, had everything we needed. We loved the rooftop pool.

This hotel was great, free shuttle to the airport was helpful. Room was nice, clean, and spacious.

This hotel was crazy. The room was so big! It had a tub and a shower. Location was great. Staff was great at providing recommendations and transportation options. We did not utilize the beach club but if we had an extra day we would’ve liked to try it.

Celia was fantastic. Learned so much and one of the highlights of our trip. I recommend this to everyone.

Our guide was great, the views are incredible. He even arranged a private vineyard tour for us.

Alex was great. He was so knowledgeable and we learned so much of portugals history. He was flexible and adapted the tour to show us things we would never have found on our own.

Mannu was great. Full of knowledge about Portugal, cares about responsible tourism and wants to show travelers the real Portugal. We would definitely recommend.

Definitely better than some of the other boats we saw where they pack the boats full of travelers. The views were incredible. The staff were not the friendliest, and I understand they turn over the boat and work with the public all the time. I might opt for an even smaller, more intimate boat next time. There were about 50 people on the boat with us many off the cruise ship.

We loved it! So glad it was self guided, we did the long hike and it was perfect. What a beautiful place!

Fun area! Wildlife on the walk down and up. Loved swimming in the water. Walked there from our hotel and coffee shop across the street was great!

Beautiful day! So happy to do zip lining in Costa Rica. Of all places we visited glad we did that at Monteverde. Guides were helpful and fun. Very adventurous. Two of us are scared of highs and we did great!

My friends/family liked it ok. Not my favorite beach. It was nice.

We got a guide and we are glad we did. Would not have seen 85% of the wild life on our own. Beautiful place.

Highlight of our trip! No words! It rained day before, entire night, and the day of the activity. We didn’t really want to go. Considered canceling or not going and taking a hit. So glad we went! It was all of our favorite adventure.

The hotel is old and tired looking as is Kristiansund. Our least favorite.

Best breakfast buffet ever experienced. No compaints.

Close to the train for a 6:15 am departure and near the opera but not near the other sights we saw. It turned out that the Bristol was better located for all that we did our first 2 days. Aside from that, which has nothing to do with the hotel, our stay was very nice and we had arranged for a bag breakfast as we had to leave very early.

Just fabulous Second best breakfast

Unfortunately the audio wasn’t functioning so much was missed.

Excellent and informative. Wanda is one of the best guides ever anywhere.

Very well kept. Great breakfast!

Loved having a balcony that overlooked the Fjord. Sauna and Fjord swim was an experience that we were glad we did.

It was awesome to experience staying in such a well aged hotel that has lots of stories to tell over the decades. Great location to everything!

Luxury hotel that over looks the fjord and mountains in the distance.

Most beautiful views of fjord and mountains! Comfortable hotel that could use some updating.

Comfortable lodging on the sea in a remote area.

Larger upscale hotel that seems like it was the nicest in Alesund.

Most beautiful place to kayak!

Fun morning mountain biking and hiking.

Had a funny smell like body odor in the room, possibly sewage? But was clean and decently comfortable. Just not very impressive and the smell.

They canceled my reservation when I didn’t show up by 6pm, which I was never scheduled to do, then with flight delays ended up there at 9:45. But what the heck?

So quaint and really cute! Enjoyed exploring all the common areas and eating in the dining room. The views from the shared patio area were stellar.

Nice hotel but kind of strange to have such a nice hotel in such a small town with not much to do around it. We had scheduled tours to do but on off times didn’t know where to go. The room itself was well laid out and not too small. The beds were comfortable and my friend loved the pillow so much she looked up the brand to buy it for herself. The bathroom was also really nice and modern. Random to note, but the hair dryer was the best I used in Norway. The included breakfast was quite extensive and satisfied both an American breakfast craving as well as Norwegian tastes.

Nothing special, hotel by the airport but it served its purpose. Note that the shuttle from here to the airport is available for a small fare.

We went kayaking with Ian! It was gorgeous, we saw eagles and lots of sea life and he let us tool around the fjord for about 3 hours. Loved this, and felt like my kayaking improved with his tips.

Centrally located. Large functional rooms. Great breakfast with the best coffee in our 22 day Indonesian trip.

Best in the area, at least according to our trusted guide.

Wanted to stay another day to unwind.

Marginal airport hotel

Why is this a "Coffee" place? My wife had to specially ask for a cup of coffee.

It gets cold up there.

For Glampers. Not a real outdoor experience.

Hot springs are a nice twist to the resort experience. Went on the Menjangan snorkel tour from their dive shop. A bit disappointed how short it was with no visit to the island. I would pick another resort that is closer to the island with a better tour.

Centally located. With our program, a driver picked us up and its location was a negative. Traffic in Ubud was terrible, so a hotwl outside of town would be better.

Predictable quality.

A bit isolated on the south side of town with very little withing walking distance. Needed to take the hotel shuttle to the downtown area. If you want to stay at a resort (with a respectable restaurant) and only go on day trips to the island, it is fine. I would have preferred a hotel in town to get more variety in restaurant options and have some shopping opportunities.

A much better tubing experience. The rapids were perfect: fun but not really dangerous.

Beautiful. Worth an hour visit

Nice view. We had lunch at Acala Adhum Cafe on hill which was a very nice restaurant and good place to take in the view.

Did not do this. Annual Flower festival in town clogged all the roads. We got stuck in traffic and did not have time.

Nice relatively easy hike. Sunrise and view was okay. A bit crowded.

Great looking waterfall and the most iconic ones in Indonesia. We went only halfway down since it was the afternoon and very hot. We don't know if it would be worth it going to the bottom because there are alot of steps and he view halfway is magnificent. Lots a tourist shops and the touristy selfie stations.

Like a Disney Epcot site which is interesting, but is polished ultra-clean. Very kid friendly. Lots of places to take selfies. Temple is seen on all the Bali brochures.

Airport arrival was pretty obvious, so help was probably not needed.

Great place to visit. Moderate crowds,

Not very crowded but definitely worthwhile. Great overview of the cultures in Sumatra. Our guide was a great compliment.

Building is obviously important. Important site with many Indonesian visitors. Throne room was crowded and main thing to see inside with not much more.

Went early in morning and pretty much only visitors. Only mosque that we saw from the inside in all on Indonesia, so important because of that, but most mosques are usually empty inside. The burial area was a nice plus. Glad that we went.

Interesting, but small.

Fun washing the elephants and then going on a short trek through the jungle. The reason to go to Tangkahan.

Saw a small waterfall near the river before having lunch on the river. Waterfall was okay but loaded with visitors, so not so special. Tubing ride on river was boring because the river was slow.

Orantatangs. Park guides are top notch and lead you straight to the wildlife.

Camping was great experience.

Saw this from the distance. Looked okay. We wished that the driver stopped to get a nice view of Lake Toba. Seeing the Patung Yesus statue would have been nice. We saw it only from a distance.

Saw the Batak houses several places. This site was the most touristy and was fairly crowded. Guide showed the execution area was very knowledgeable. Other tourists listened in.

Very touristy, but very entertaining. Seeing Indonesian tourists dancing with the puppets is priceless. Only one puppet was working, the other just shaked with no arm motions, so a minor let down. Everybody posing for selfies at the two puppets before the dance detracted from the overall vibe. They needed more puppets for selfies.

Nice tomb. Guide also went to another tomb on the island (Museum Huta Bolon Simanindo) which was nice

Did not go to this place. Read about it online: it was a farm, mostly selling stuff with a tourist (Western food) buffet. We went to Sigurgur Beach for a nice relaxing lunch instead.

One of the big 3 must-sees in Jogja. Climbing up the temple is a must. The flow of people was well managed and you could get some alone time with the temple.

Stuck at the Mimpi resort. Nice place to relax. Not really a place to explore like a local beach would be.

Did not go. Driver did not take us there. Went to Medut Temple instead. Did not have enough time to do everything on itinerary.

A great complement to Borobudur temple. Mendut temple is smaller but the environment and statue inside was nicer.

A must see. Park guide was awesome.

Part of the Joyja palace area. Probably the best part. See palace review for more details.

Snorkeling was great but it was a short tour (9am-3pm). Only two snorkeling events, which was plenty for the day, lasting 30-45 minutes each. Lunch on boat, boring. A much better tour would have include an island visit to stretch our legs and have lunch. Make it an 8am-4pm tour or start the tour from a closer hotel.

Motocycle ride to site was fun. The hiking past the splashing water of the falls was unique (at least for our trip). The 360 degree waterfall canyon makes it impossible to capture the awesome experience with a camera.

Went to burial area, but it was closed. Put on traditional clothes just to see the few (very average) things that were open. Stetched out to 30 minutes with no real walking. Waste of time.

Like this even better than Borobodur.

Did not do this at sunrise. There was a traffic jam going to the site and the jeeps were not moving. Instead, we went to King Kong hill later in the morning to see the panarama view. With only a few people on the platform it was much more personal. Worked for us and view still awesome.

Went here in the dark to see the sunrise. Only a few people on the rim, so very nice. Since it was dark, we could see the red glow on the lava.

Ijen was closed. Driving there the day before, it was impressive to see from a distance. Driving through the coffee plantation on mountain was fun. You need a tour of a coffee plantation in the area (or just a stop at a very nice coffee resto). Make sure people have a backup plan for sites to see that day.

Did not go here. Went to Labuhan Kebo Waterfall instead which was awesome and was 5 stars. Less crowded, not touristy and you could go swimming. More famous Red Coral waterfall nearby (but didnt see). I recommend getting a hotel in the area and spending an entire day hiking the Munduk waterfalls and the surrounding clove farms.

Cancelled this.

Interesting but the Jogya palace was better

Nice restful museum with some local and european transplants artists. Owner was there and was very passionate adding interesting stories. Grounds were nice too.

If you want to see monkeys, go here. They are well fed, so not really very aggressive. Grounds and temples created a nice scene. Touristy, but worth it and definitely a highlight.

If you like a manicured garden trails, ziplines and selfies, this place is for you. Not a realistic coffee plantation or a rice terrace farm. Go to a real rice terrace and coffee plantation and avoid this overly crowded place. Doesn't check any of my boxes.

Did not go since it would be high tide for our visit. Instead went to Goa Gajah Temple which was very interesting.

Great dry cave. Its a small cave but fun since you need to put on a helmet and crawl a little. The local guide made it extra special.

Good if you are a goat and love to climb every hill that you see. Very windy and dry. View was nice but nothing compared to the Komodo island views. I would skip unless you want to see a sunset.

More of a beach destination that is great for kids. Local boat ride takes you to the dock and a nice small beach with a stand selling food. Nice to hang out there and have a picnic. Going to the cave was pleasant, but an average experience. Its a short hike with sandals. Cave floor has been changed to "an ampitheater" with steps so that everyone (it was crowded) has space to leave their towels and shoes. Kids love it and splash around constantly in the salty water. The entrance is large enough that the cave pool is adquately lit. Humid and stuffy air. We limited ourselves to a 5 min swim but could not get a cave picture without a kid or a swimmer trying to get a selfie.

Millions of boats waiting for the bats to come out. A party atmosphere.

Really pink. Your photos will appear photoshopped.

Best place for dragons. We went in late afternoon and they were active. Watchout.

We went two days to the islands at various stops. Nonstop A+ sites. Everybody is going out to the same places so get a big boat that is fast to allow you to spend more time at each site. The group from your boat will be mixed with 100 people from other boats when snorkeling, on the beach. Still it is possible to get a personal experience.

Very crowded airport. Took us straight to correct areas.

Great hotel! Friendly staff, great breakfast, nice and clean, many amenities and central location!

A great way to see the city. Guides were knowledgeable and fun.

Love the winery and the tour of where the wine was stored. Good was amazing. Georgia was an excellent tour guide.

The location of this hotel was extremely challenging. If you have any mobility challenges, it is a non-starter. Cobblestones, stairs, a hill, and no elevator inside. Nothing wrong with the hotel once you get to it

John took us to castles, lochs, towns and overlooks. Really great

One could spend a whole week or more on Skye. We had 2 days, which seemed like just enough. The Fairy Glen, Fairy Pools and Talisker distillery were particular highlights

A quiet beautiful getaway. Near port douglas. Andre was very helpful. Extremely clean accommodations. Lovely simple healthy breakfast. Great coffee. Andre was charming and takes great pride in this place. Hard to describe- but the atmosphere hit you as calm Bed and linens perfect. You have to visit to understand!! Perfect ending to a wonderful three weeks in Australia

Amazing apartments, perfect for our family of 5. The rooftop view of the Acropolis is truly awesome. We really appreciated the breakfast food in the apartment, the cleanliness and ideal location of these apartments, highly recommended!!

We really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff at this hotel who went out of their way to guide us. The breakfast was the best we experienced in Greece. The hot tubs and lovely infinity pool were a highlight also!

A family-owned hotel. The owner is very helpful, accommodations are clean. Beautiful ocean view with hot tubs for upper rooms. Only approx. 15 minute walk to Oia.

Excellent central location in Heraklion!!

Family-friendly hotel in the heart of Chania, close to port, local restaurants and shops. Delicious breakfast.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced!!

Experienced guides who ensured safe and enjoyable experience for all. Really enjoyed access to the sea caves and thermal waters!!!

Our guide Nikos was outstanding. He went out of his way to understand our particular family input and goals and we experienced an amazing day with visit to Elafonisi beach, local Roman ruins and view of peninsula. We also enjoyed a delicious local Cretan meal together. Would highly recommend this tour with Nikos!!
