Auberge without running water. No moskito net. Toilet is a shack in the backyard. The usual stuff.
The host first wanted 5'000CFA, I gave him 3'500, he seemed to be very happy.
Parked my motorcycle in the yard where it was more or less hidden from the road and guarded. The host still advised me to take all my luggage off.

Installations for running water are there but weren't functional when I visited. Moskito net in place.
Official price is 5'000CFA, but because the president was visiting the clerk raised the price to 10'000CFA, trying to take the additional 5'000 in his own pocket. After 30min I got the room for 5'000.

No running water except for a tap in the yard which doesn't work half of the time because the guy responsible for the pump is angry with the whole village. In his opinion they're snitches because they called the police after he beat his girlfriend to pulp.
Anyway: no moskito net, lots of insects. Seriously lots of crawly stuff from moskitos to scorpions.
3'000CFA for the simple room, 5'000CFA with TV.
