TL;DR
If the host doesn't answer calls or emails after your booking confirmation, you likely won't be able to check in — it's best to search for a backup accommodation option right away instead of waiting for Booking support.
The automatic confirmation with a code and booking number comes from Booking right after payment — it's not a guarantee the host is actually reachable. If they don't answer calls or emails, there's a high chance you won't be able to check in, so it's better to book a backup place right away instead of waiting.
A traveler with kids booked a hotel in Tbilisi via Booking, received a confirmation code, but the host wasn't answering calls or emails. Check-in was planned for late at night, adding to the stress — Booking support forwarded the complaint to the host, but there was no quick response.
