Disappointing BOoking.com

Booked a property on booking.com, received confirmation and paid my fee. Just received a message property were sold and they cant honor booking. When i complained the new excuse is that the oroperty is closed necause of covid. Very convenient There solution is a free cancellation which I had in any case. When i cancel i have to oay a cancellation penalty why not propery or booking. com why dont you provide alternative at same cost. Poor service poor company Rather use tevago or competitors
