I asked for rates for a hotel in Italy for October and got 165 Euros per room. On Booking.com, the rates were listed as 200 Euros.

Was it like for like? In Italy booking.com requires the city tax to be included in the shown price. OTOH on the hotel website it'll usually be different.

But hotels are free to charge whatever they like no matter what.

Booking.com gave me a price of 200 Euros. The hotel offered a price of 165 Euros for the same time period.
