I’ve been charged without a confirmed booking and there’s no refund either

So I recently tried booking a hotel from booking.com on the 30th of July (posting this on the 19th of August) but due to some error my they did not confirm my booking my money was deducted from my account but I did not receive any confirmation emails or anything.

Now, when I try to contact them they keep sending me the same emails that also written by a bot. When I try to call the number provided it doesn’t even connect. So I’m pretty much helpless at this point.

They’ve told me to email them more information about this payment issue by “replying” the email they’ve sent me but it’s a no-reply email!? How am I supposed to reply to that?

I have no idea how to contact them. The payment was actually a huge amount. It has already been so long since I made this payment and I am a student it was my pocket money that I had saved up for a long time for this trip. Due to this problem I had to make a lot of adjustments. It’s so sad that this was my first experience with them.

Does "Cancellation Fee" on a non-refundable Booking.com reservation mean I get charged twice?

Hi everyone,
I have a non-refundable booking on Booking.com that I've already fully paid for. I need to cancel it, but when I go to the cancellation screen, it states there is a "cancellation fee" equal to 100% of the total booking price.
Does this mean Booking.com is going to charge my credit card again for the fee, on top of what I already paid? Or does the "fee" just mean they keep the money I've already paid and I won't be charged anything extra?
Thanks for the help!

Account disabled without notice with reservation pending

I have a few days booked starting with 19th Aug.

Went to booking.com to check everything is OK.

They tell me that for security reasons my account is disabled.

I have NO EMAIL about this. No, it's not in the junk folder. Now I have to guess: is my reservation still active, or do I have to scramble to find one? And if I find a new one do I get charged for the old one for no-show?

Never had any trouble so far (my wife used her account so far, this account hasn't been used in a while) but this particular trouble is... something otherwordly.
