Booking .com has paused payouts to a subset of hosts, for weeks, thanks to an internal systems migration. So hosts are renting out accommodations, but not being paid: in the middle of peak season.
The situation got bad enough that a government agency in Hungary is now involved:
Meet the man who heads up a company that does not pay their owners of the cottages he promotes through booking.con. It has not come out fully in the press yet but it will and they will lose partners. Any compnay this size needs trust.

@bookingcom Why are Booking.com not paying there owners, they say they have internal problems therefore payouts are delayed but they are the worst communicators.
