The best option is to pay the hotels directly.

    The only use of these sites is aggregation, then ring and book

    The booking page on small hotel websites so often just refers back to their bookings.com page.

    Its getting more and more common that you can only callโ€“in for a same day stay. Anything further the receptionist will just send you to their host website or whichever is their host booking engine

    I felt bad dropping โ‚ฌ600 on a German hotel thro Expedia but that was genuinely the cheapest place, by such a margin that I couldn't afford to buy direct. The hotel wouldn't entertain it at all.

    What isn't helped is the extra discount thro sites like topcashback
