- Air conditioning, house linen and welcome products.
- A guard on site and one number, phone and WhatsApp, day and night.

High season and long stays
Nights cost 15% more from 1 December to 31 January, and 25% more from 20 December to 10 January, the festive season and the Vodun Days. Each night is rounded up to the next 5,000 FCFA and the stay is the sum of its nights.
A package applies only from its own length: the fortnight from 15 nights, the month from 30, pro rata beyond. Thirteen nights are therefore priced by the night.
Deposit and cancellation
50% at booking (20,000 FCFA minimum), by Mobile Money online, by card on request via WhatsApp; the balance on arrival. Full payment at booking for 3 nights or fewer, or when arrival is within 7 days.
- More than 30 days before arrival: the deposit is refunded in full.
- 30 to 15 days: half the deposit is retained.
- 15 to 7 days: the deposit is retained in full.
- Within 7 days, or on a no-show: the full stay is due.
