I booked a room for four nights at €110 per night. When I made the reservation three months in advance, additional rooms were available. Two weeks prior to my scheduled arrival, I was informed that a problem with the channel manager was causing overbookings, and I was advised to cancel my reservation. Few weeks before my supposed arrival, similar rooms were available and listed listed at approximately €250 per night.

- My reservation was made prior to the overbooking issue, so the hotel should honor it by canceling reservations made after mine at higher rates, rather than requiring me to do so.

- In similar situations, other hotels typically seek alternative solutions or accommodations; such options were not offered or considered in this case.

- Overbooking for a small family-run hotel is unprofessional and may undermine the hotel's reliability for future guests.

- Overbooking is a management issue; it is not the responsibility of the guest. The hotel should take responsibility and handle affected reservations accordingly, rather than implying that I canceled.
