I booked a room via booking.com and when I reached the hotel to check in I came to know that the room I booked was not air conditioned. So the hotel staffs offered me another room with air condition facilities. Now the site is sending emails like I'm not checked in at the hotel.
Will I have to pay the cancellation amount? I checked in the hotel which I booked, but for another room and the transaction was direct only.

In my experience there are two possible explanations. The least likely one is that the person who checked you in does not understanding the booking.com procedures. The more likely explanation is that the hotel is trying to save the amount of the commission due to booking.com. Bring the matter to the attention of the hotel reception and reply to booking.com that you checked in to the hotel on time. When you check out be sure to get an itemised bill and keep it until the matter has been resolved.

If you do get charged the cancellation fee, remember that you can challenge it via your card provider, assuming you used a credit card when you booked.

Jun 26 at 17:36
@R.. ATM cards in the US actually have stronger protections wrt. resolving erroneous charges (including unauthorized ones) than credit cards. However, IME, the people that you deal with at banks will often not be aware of the requirements and/or not follow them. The requirements for handling erroneous electronic funds transfers, including ATM card transactions, are in 15 USC Sec. 1693f, which is part of 15 USC Sec. 1693, which covers electronic funds transfers.
