Booking.com cancellation

James__10 · 2021-10-06 20:32:54

I booked a hotel on booking.com using a new debit card I got with €0 in my account. The hotel I cancelled has a cancellation fee of €158 but I clicked cancel within about 2 mins of initially booking the hotel? As there was €0 in my account will I be hit with a cancellation fee?

Quite possibly. And then an extra "unauthorised overdraft" charge from your bank. Hopefully the fact that it was within a few minutes will help you - I'd get in touch with booking.com as soon as possible, explain that you misclicked, and see what they say.

I received this within a few hours of cancelling so I presume I’ll be ok?
