Every time I've reserved a hotel room with Booking.com, the payment has required 3-D Secure verification. For me, this involves entering my VISA card's PIN into a card reader, thus needing both physical access to my card and knowledge of my PIN. That might not be very much consolation, but it's at least some protection against having your account fraudulently drained.

Just last month I reserved on Booking.com, arrived at the hotel and to my surprise they said "we already charged you with the card you have on Booking".
Charge came from Panama (the country) and the hotel isn't anywhere near.
No physical card or further verification.
