Booked an apartment in Dieppe France and arranged to meet the owner to get the keys. She didn't show up and booking.com charged me anyway. They have now said that she was just late (We waited on a dirty pavement next to a busy road in a not salubrious neighbourhood with my 5 year old son for 30 minutes) and that I cancelled my booking. I did not cancel it - they did I couldn't get it! My bank are disputing the payment so that may be the way to go... we'll see. Wouldn't trust them though
