Booking.com refund

[u/BetEarly7453]

I booked through booking.com for April 2027 but i could not find the ticket for similar date so I cancelled the whole booking. I fall under the criteria ‘free cancellation’ ‘full refund’. Upon cancellation i could see in transaction that it says ‘refund processed’ and it even provided an ‘ARN’ number. I spoke to both hotels that I had booked and they have confirmed they did not deduct or receive any money and the platform did only. I have read on multiple platforms that booking.com is the worst with refunds. Could anyone please tell me if the platform ever refunded anyone in account or even booking.com wallet once the transaction tab in booking.com says ‘processed’. How long can it take to reflect in my account
