Booking.com

Hi, Just had an email from the hotel i booked for next year in France via Booking.com. telling me to cancel as they was a pricing issue. I booked this hotel in early June. Checked the prices now and they have more then doubled.
Can the hotel do this?

Thanks in advance

Tony

    OK, so evidently they want you to withdraw from the contract. However, that is very different from them saying that they have cancelled your booking.

    See what happens if you politely write back to them saying that you are looking forward to staying with them and so do not wish to cancel.
