What happens if you don't pay booking.com cancellation fees?
What happens if you book two hotels through booking.com and reach only one hotel without cancelling the other booking?
Would that hotel charge include cancellation charge of first hotel?
UPDATE
Not sure in case of no show. However if you cancel your booking, booking.com will try to charge you immediately even without CVV.
Best Answer
Hotels don't have access to information about your bookings at other hotels and can't charge you for cancelling your stay at the first hotel. Likewise Booking.com itself doesn't charge customers and only passes on credit card information to the hotels.
Therefore it will be up to the first hotel to try and charge your card after you fail to show up. If the stay was booked without a credit card, hotels usually won't bother with trying to charge you the cancellation fee.

Answer 2
Most times, cancellations fees are not paid, they are charged. This is why even if you have to pay on check-out, you are asked for a credit card number, although some hotels reservations do not ask for a card, in which case they have no way to charge you.
For most reservations, when you press the Cancel button on Booking.com, any applicable fee will be charged to your card immediately. If instead, you do nothing and not show up, either Booking.com or the hotel will charge you something which could be the value of the entire stay or the first night, again this depends on the hotel policy.
Once the charge is on your credit card, then you will have to pay the balance unless you dispute the transaction with your credit card company. Since your booking was subject to certain rules, there is little chance of them agreeing in your favor.
As per another question on this site, if you did not provide a credit card, it seems that you generally won't be charged but a hotel could send you a bill the the cancellation fee if they were so inclined.
