Contact guest and apologise and try and offer some alternatives in the area.  they have to do the cancellation you cannot.  If you get booking.com to do it they will charge a relocation fee.

  • Extranet
  • Reservations
  • Reservations Details Page
  • Right Pane, Request To Cancel
  • Choose option 2, submit
  • Wait for guest to receive email with action to confirm

The sync is not real time so always a risk of this.  I have instant booking turned off on Airbnb so that I can manually check before accepting a booking with them.  You cannot turn it off in booking.com
