If you receive substandard accommodation instead of your booking on Booking.com, you should first try to resolve the issue directly with the landlord. Contact the landlord, explain the problem and try to find a solution together.
If no agreement can be reached with the landlord, you can contact Booking.com customer service. The platform has guidelines for resolving disputes between guests and landlords. If Booking.com determines that you are in the right, it can ask the landlord to resolve the problem and, if necessary, arrange a refund or compensation for you.
If you've exhausted your options and remain uncertain about an issue, consult Xolvie for insights from those who've faced similar challenges.
