One of the hotels we stay in during our trips of the HOTEL KA-BE-DELUXE in Mbuji-Mayi. By the time we get there, usually we have been on the road for 5 days to Luputa and have stayed in the monastery at Luputa for three days.So in actuality, the KA-BE-DELUXE feels pretty good because there is a 50% chance of power, the water is in your bathroom (in pails) and a few other amenities (including a small casino, which always power even if the hotel rooms don't -- priorities, you know).
But some of the posted rules are pretty interesting.
Look at # 10 -- "The Hotel firmly prohibits breeding pets in Hotel rooms." Thank heavens -- although we have seen goats in some pretty interesting places, including getting checked in as luggage on some of the flights we take. I don't mind them being checked in as luggage, but last trip in Brazzaville, one of them decided to pee on the concrete floor right next to where we were standing. I didn't realize goats' bladders were that gigantic.
Gotta love # 15 -- "If the guest doesn't know to swim in the swimming pool, the hotel is not responsible when an accident happens to him." Based upon our experiences in baptisms, most Africans don't want to go under the water. They stiffen up like boards and if the person doesn't the baptism is not careful, it will take 2 or 3 times to get the person fully immersed.
Happy lodging at the Hotel KA-BE-DELUXE.

I must admit that Rule #10 did catch my eye - I can only imagine what incidents might have led to that rule.
