Booking contact number?!?

I just signed up and the calendar was supposed to be synced with my Airbnb, however, it was not and I have a double booking and would like to cancel it, I have messaged the guest and requested cancellation however no response. I am trying to contact a human at booking.com but there seems to be no number or even email I can find, any help is appreciated as I don't want a random guest showing up whilst my other guest is still there.

continuing on M Adamopoulou's advice, please be prepared for your first ( surprise ) shock: 

Airbnb as well as BdC penalise the Host if a booked guest cannot be accommodated.

A Host is not entitled to cancel a confirmed reservation.

As to whether this is fair or not, that is a different question.

The only thing the Host can do is assure that overlapping bookings do not occur 

Let us know how you go.

cheers

Thanks, One option would be to cancel it on airbnb, however the aribnb booking is a week and was booked first before I even signed up with this site, the booking from here is one night. Thanks for the advice, I have found a customer support number I will call on monday

Ideally, Harry: make AirBnb guests book not instant. 

I do this now for some time, and have even more bookings with A than with B! 

A bit more hassle, but worth it, and no double bookings. I wouldn't worry about it. And saves you the cost of channel manager if you use one.

Aaltje, by not instant you mean guests have to send you a request before making reservation???

Yes,  since with Airbnb the host can choose instant booking done or not

Aaltje if it works I think it’s a good solution in avoiding double bookings.

Thanks for the tip...simple and clever...

Cheers!!!

I probably have it set it up...that’s why every time I have a reservation from A the guest sends me a request....

I just hadn’t realized it until now...

Thanks again
