Can I Change/Cancel My Hotel Bookings after getting Schengen visa, will that get my visa cancelled?
I made the hotel reservations in Spain and the Netherlands, I received the visa.
I recently found a better deal on internet, in that case can I cancel the booking I presented in the Itinerary provided for visa and are the hotels in the Netherlands and Spain liable to inform embassy in case of hotel booking cancellation ?

We have anecdotal reports that some Schengen countries -- Czechia in particular comes to mind -- appear to have a policy of revoking visas after the traveler cancels the original hotel booking. (It doesn't look like Czech hotels have a duty to report cancellations, rather that the Czech consulates let themselves be used as a way for hoteliers to retaliate for the cancellation).
However, this doesn't seem to be usual for either Spain or the Netherlands.
The common Schengen rules allow a visa to be revoked "where it becomes evident that the conditions for issuing it are no longer met". But the rules do not specify in particular which facts can be interpreted in that way, so it is up to each member state's own procedures and administrative traditions how to implement that in practice.

As far as the Schengen rules go, there is nothing odious about making small changes to your travel plans after you apply for a visa, as long as the overall purpose and destination of the visit remain true to what you described in the application. Switching to different hotels certainly falls under that.Can I cancel my hotel booking after getting Schengen visa?
