Weird. Very weird, but good luck getting booking.com to take any responsibility.

I tried them once, and NEVER again. Their answer to situations like this is that they are just the platform that puts you in touch with the person renting the place. Any issues you have to take it up with the owner, including any financial transactions.

This is unlike AirBnB and VRBO apparently.
