Interesting, that's never been true for me other than the 1/2 euro per night in city tax in parts of Europe. I've never had a Booking.com quote *for the actual days I selected* not be honored. In fact, now that I'm on level 3 of their loyalty programme, Booking.com will (supposedly?) pay for part of my stay
One thing to know about Booking.com is that they are actively driving people to use their app, so they have "mobile-only" prices - often you can get the same room for the same days cheaper through their mobile app than their own browser version.
I don't like using AirBnB any more though, their service fees and cleaning fees have gotten out of hand, and the pricing is not at all transparent.
As a backup option, maybe go to the local tourist info center and ask them to help you find local accommodation in your price range.
