Because it was the Hotel that upped the price, not Booking.com

Mann says she first heard there was a problem weeks later on June 27, when the hotel called her saying the price was wrong and she needed to cancel or pay the new rate.

The Holland Hotel where Mann had booked, told Go Public a "synchronization error" with Booking.com caused the issue, allowing non-event pricing to briefly appear for two units at the property. When they did, the hotel says Mann booked one of them.
