If your booking has been cancelled and a refund applies, the refund goes to the original payment method you used when booking. Most refunds appear in your bank account within 2 to 4 business days, depending on your bank's processing speed. Refunds for bookings made through Booking.com or Airbnb are handled by those platforms, so the timing depends on their process.
