Bookingdotcom fair error

    All,

    i booked a hotel last night using bookingdotcom, seemed like a good deal at €21. 10 minutes after reservation email received, got another saying their customer service desk tried to ring (no missed call) and that the price offered was incorrect, this is the actual price and here's a slight discount on that for the misunderstanding.
    Are they obliged to only charge me the rate i booked at or can they revoke the offer, don't want push the issue if they take full amount from my credit card anyway.
    Any advice appreciated.

    what do their terms and conditions say?

    Was the €21 a good deal or an insanely good (i.e. probably an error) deal?

    from their terms and conditions :
    Obvious errors and mistakes (including misprints) are not binding.

    you are most likely out of luck OP
