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.

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.
