Summary bot have missed the esential line: The booking.com behaved like shitheads and did not took care for money to be returned to the customers, those who lost it not due their fault but due bookings com bad pratice in working with the hotels accounts admins.
In my opinion booking com had to take the responsibility to save their reputation. If it's each hotels account administrator bad practice (week pass, stupid email links opening, ignoring whats hapening with their account, etc...), then hotels had to be made to compensate, if fault lies in bookings.com bad practices working with those accounts managers, the booking had to compensate. Either way those are business'es and they have obligations to their clients. But in their protection – if clients were specificaly stupid, like in opened some dumb shady link to third party payment systems, from chat or something like that level stupid, then client is to blame himself. Each case had to be investigated in detail. P.S. Journalists had to put more effort, not jus report in the style he told this and other he told that and then to leave hanging. That's slightly shitting on everybodies reputation, including the clients, cause probably they could be the dumb ones also. Yet, no clues or details to understand what realy happened there, exept that money been lost – not a good article.
