I booked a hotel in the UK in May, they charged the full price of the stay
€580 when I booked a month ago, it was a extra £50 to give me the option to cancel, which we did not take. They will not cancel because of the virus even though we are 76 and told to stay in doors (lesson learned) even then normally hotels take a deposit not the full amount. Little more than a scam. At present I am keeping the booking because
a) if they cancel it's a different ball game
b) they cannot re let my room and obtain a 2nd booking and obtain a double fee
