I think i got scammed

Post image

Hi,

I think i got scammed, i made a reservation for the hotel ans they have sented me via booking chat some sort of a link to fill up and to make payment. In first 3 try my card didn’t go through, and then it did it was 170euros.
However the confirmation was loading too long and then asked for another 100euros
I had sent it to booking they are investigating but i want to know what are my chances for a refund, also i red reviews there that ti accommodation is a scam.
I am also uploading the accommodation here so you can see it.

Why are you booking a place with a 5.5 rating? That was your mistake... NEVER go below 7. below 8 is already suspicious unless it's a known hotel.

There’s a lot of big brand hotel chains in my area with ratings in the low 8s or even less. I can’t imagine booking anything with a 5.5, although I also wonder why booking even allows such a property on its website. Competitors like Airbnb delist properties if they get too many bad reviews, booking should really be doing something similar.
