How so?

It sounds like a very reasonable policy -- the person responsible for making the mistake needs to rectify it.

No one's out of pocket -- the double booking was never going to make double revenue, after all. The time / inconvenience imposition is on the responsible party, who also likely has more service industry & local knowledge than the customer.

This policy makes me feel more positively towards booking.com.

As per TFA, AirBNB does that hand-wavey thing where they assert some problems are beyond their competence to solve -- the kinds of problems other sectors and organisations have already got policies and procedures in place to deal with.
