When booking a flight, if you do not actively choose a hotel but are automatically selected and cannot cancel, it may be due to the following reasons:
Bundled Sales: Sometimes air tickets and hotels are sold in a bundle, and airlines or travel agencies will recommend or include hotel options by default when providing air ticket services.
System Recommendation: Based on your travel information, such as destination, travel date, etc., the system will automatically recommend hotels.
Default Settings: It may be that your account settings or the default options of your browser cause the hotel to be automatically selected when booking.
Package Discount: Sometimes choosing a flight package that includes a hotel will provide a price discount, and the system may automatically help you choose to get the discount.
In this case, you can try the following steps to solve the problem:
Contact Customer Service: Contact the customer service of the airline or travel agency to ask why the hotel was automatically selected and explain that you wish to cancel the hotel.
Modify Order: Look in the order details to see if there is an option to modify or cancel the hotel, and if so, follow the instructions.
Rebook: If none of the above methods solve the problem, you may need to cancel your current reservation and make a new reservation, this time making sure not to select a hotel during the booking process.
Please note that specific steps may vary depending on the service policies of different airlines or travel agencies.
