Double booking
HI everyone,
Last night the booking.com computer system double booked two different people for the same dates. I am ringing them but they do not seem to understand the problem and have now written saying I will be charged if I cannot accommodate the second guest.
What do I do now?
Ask the second guest to cancel as you are already booked
Then click Request Cancellation, choose 2nd option , now wait for them to action the request
Thanks BrookAve,
I have finally found out that when a guest cancelled an 8 night booking, there was a blip in the bdc system that duplicated my accommodation during the cancelled period. Thus two x 4 night bookings came in from 4 different people. Bdc have now sorted it and cancelled the "doubles" and checked that my accommodation is now only showing as one and not two.
I did not know that I could request a cancellation from a guest by pushing a button. I shall bear this in mind should it ever happen again. I do not use any other platform so any double bookings would be purely down to bdc.
Thanks for your response
