Airline cancelled direct flight. I changed flight to another day. Must airline offer free change of hotel booked through airline?

score:4

Let's take a look at the facts:

You've booked a flight ticket and a hostel room at the same time
Sometime later (but a long time before the actual flight) the airline notifies you that you can get a refund, fly with a layover or fly on a different date
You choose to fly on a different date out of your own choice

In this case I don't see how the airline owes you anything other than a refund on the hostel booking. You've had the option to get a full refund but you chose not to. You could've also flown indirectly on the same day and keep the hostel booking intact. Anything beyond that is a gesture of good will rather than a legal obligation.
