Dakar,Senegal,SERIOUSLY good deal!!!
While searching for a hotel on booking.com for Dakar,6-8 December,using the cheap to expensive option I came up with this deal,Auberge Lillas Dakar,price in Turkish currency is 0,zero. It does not seem to be a luxury option,buuut,for zero turkish lira,my expetations would be kind of on the low side!! Enjoy!!! And,please,do not complain to me bcs they did not pay you to stay!!!:-)
And,BTW,this is high season,so,requests for payed stays outside of that MIGHT JUST be sucessfull!!!
And,NO code required,only a REALY decent price,did not check out how many miles/Points they give,though!!

Hmm, interesting thread. Am looking for a hotel in Dakar for an upcoming trip next March but unfortunately doesn't work for that. Prices at zero in USD too but I also think that booking.com can and will cancel a zero res for sure (don't know about "hotel.com"...) Anyway thanks for the heads up. Interesting property though I'd be a bit nervous given the donkey in the pic. Good luck!

They don't use Turkish Lira in Senegal, Africa AFAIK though (and I think that booking.com will cancel a zero res for sure- don't know about "hotel.com"...) Anyway thanks for the heads up. Interesting property though I'd be a bit nervous given the donkey in the pic. Good luck!

Maybe you are right. But he looks like a bit of an AS.S to me 
How can you POSSIBLY be nervous abouth the donkey,seems to be a nice donkey to me,and FRANKLY,zero turkish lira IS a very good rate. Donkey or no donkey,at that price I would think a included donkey would be major advantage!! Some People always have to find the downside!!
