My experience in Europe is that some low-end places (especially apartments) gave me a phone number or even a card with contact details, and told me to call them directly next time so I could save the Booking fee. Makes sense: remove the middleman!

No, they say call direct so you can pay higher prices and not those online promo deals.

Yes, that is after they have had you as a guest. That is different from strangers calling them demanding a lower price.
