She made two bookings, one of which she intended to cancel from the get go, in other words, it was a fake booking.
"When Mann booked the accommodations, Formula One organizers hadn't locked in the exact race dates. So she covered her bases — reserving the same four-bedroom unit for two possible weekends in May 2026, both with free cancellation.
Once the official dates were announced, she cancelled the extra booking, in line with Booking.com rules."
And then Booking.com cancelled her booking, in line with Booking.com rules. Shit goes both ways.
