TL;DR
Book independently if it's cheaper, but verify the booking site's reliability and confirm your reservation directly with the hotel via email before arrival.
If booking independently is cheaper, go for it. Just make sure the booking platform is reputable and email the hotel directly in advance to confirm your reservation.
A lot depends on the specific hotel's flexibility and whether a tour operator representative is present on-site. You can reach out to the hotel even just one day before check-in, including on weekends.
Booking through a hotel or tour operator often means more on-site support — hotel representatives can help resolve issues at no extra cost.
