If you have problems with the landlord you booked through Booking.com, you can settle the matter in some ways. First, you should get in touch with Booking.com's customer service team. They can help you work things out, find another property, or even issue a refund.
You could also file a complaint with us. As a free website, we try to help customers and businesses work out their differences.
One option is to talk to your landlord directly about the problem. If both sides are willing to talk things out, a solution could be found without Booking.com being involved. Be ready to leave, though, if negotiations don't work out.
You could go to court against your landlord or Booking.com as a last resort. Throughout the process, it's important to communicate clearly and briefly, be polite, and keep going. Keeping copies of all the important papers, like rental agreements, reservation confirmations, and letters, will help your case.
