Don’t expect much here! Stayed two nights - 1 before Livingstone/Sambia (2 days there, border procedures and road are nigh**ares) and 1 night after Sambia. In one room the aircon did not work, in the other there were no lights, in the third the toilet and shower were broken and it smelled. Beds were nice though. Guy in bar where you can have some small dinner was sleeping deeply. Breakfast also in the bar-very small and basic. You need to ask everything separately, I.e. Butter, toaster etc. And service is extremely slow. Pool is big but dirty. Most important thing here is you pay upon check in. But card payment only worked after 4 attempts. Views of Zambezi are astonishing though. Really needs renovation and proper management.

Food at restaurant was very good. Room was fine. There was no electricity for an entire day, which was not the hotel's fault. However, since the hotel knew that the electricity would be turned off by the town, it would have been nice to warn the guests so they could take a shower prior to the water being unavailable and charge devices prior to the power being shut off.

Overall, I enjoyed my 2-night stay at this Marriott hotel. The best part is the view from the restaurant overlooking the Zambezi River, which is also the best place to catch the beautiful sunsets. I had dinner at the restaurant, which serves pretty good food. The buffet breakfast that was included in my room rate was also excellent. The restaurant staff is very friendly & accommodating. They even packed a breakfast box for me when I had to leave early in the morning for my transfer to Victoria Falls. As for my room, it was spacious and clean, and the bed was really comfortable. There was a hot water kettle, coffee, & tea in the room, as well as a small refrigerator with a couple of bottles of water. The only downside is that the wifi didn’t work outside the reception & restaurant area. Since my room was close to the reception area, I was able to connect to wifi but it was too weak, so I still had to go to reception or the dining area if I really needed to get online. Other than that, this hotel was everything I needed for my short but comfortable stay in Katima Mulilo.

Wonderful place to unwind after a long day. River frontage is superb!! May have an opportunity to see a Hippo grazing, I just hear them but didn’t get to see any. Limited food choices. Seems a little understaffed too. Rooms are clean and spacious though you may see a roach or two… Wonderful place for morning walks or swimming. May hear some loud music from neighboring Zambia but once you shut your door its quite enough to sleep.

The hotel is close to the Zambezi River and most rooms face the Zambezi River. It is comfortable and has a good swimming pool, but it is not very clean. The room is spacious and the bed is very comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful, but a bit slow. This hotel has a bit of a government run hotel vibe. There is a nice garden with many plants. Swimming in the river is impossible because there are hippos and crocodiles in the river. I can drink beer on the terrace and watch the hippos.

The hotel is located in the outskirts of town, right by the river. It is showing its age and needs a renovation. Nevertheless, the hotel is OK for a short stay, the rooms are clean and equipped with everything, the beds are very good, the pool is OK, there is a secure car park. The breakfast is also OK, and they also offer meals for lunch and dinner, but we went to the Passione Restaurant in town, which is recommended. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The most beautiful camping site along the banks of the Zambezi River. The campsites are shaded on lucious lawns & every site has a fixed BBQ. The sunset views are spectacular. Unfortunately the ablutions (although clean) did not have hot water in all the showers.
