So I reserved a room on Bookings.com. Used the option to pay at the hotel. We get to the hotel, and I use my debit card, and pay for the room including a “safety/cleaning deposit”, which was to be refunded at day of checkout.

After he ran my card, I look at my account and see the charge and everything, including the deposit.

Now, the day of checkout, and a few hours later, I look into my bank account and notice the money is back and the charge is nowhere on my account, as if it was never charged. Bank error? Hotel error?

Has this happened to anyone else? Not sure if I should call my bank or just let it be?

Thanks in advance.
