You cannot just cancel a booking. You can request cancel in the reservation but the guest has to confirm. Message the guest with alternatives and explain situation and ask the to cancel. Booking.com will charge you if you ask them.
I suggest you mark dates as Closed if you can't take bookings.
I found this buried under Partner Help > Your Reservations. So many of us likely have never seen it. This should have been pinned and featured on the community
