Booking.com Canceled My Hotel Reservation 1 Day Before Stay, Now Facing Higher Prices

Despite paying in full, Booking.com canceled my hotel reservation just one day before my stay. Now, I’m left without a place to stay, and current prices have skyrocketed. The alternative accommodation they offered is €600 more expensive, and they expect me to cover the difference. How can you cancel a confirmed reservation at the last minute? This is completely unacceptable, and I’m frustrated by the lack of accountability. Booking.com needs to resolve this situation immediately, as I shouldn’t have to pay extra due to their last-minute cancellation.
