Is it possible they just wanted you to book direct so they don't pay the Booking.com commission?

Maybe, though the owner seemed legitimately annoyed with Booking.com having the listing still active. Their direct price ended up being 10-15% cheaper in any case.

I've heard from friends o friends who use Booking.com that their payment system broke down earlier this year and booking.com still has not paid them hundreds / thousands they are owed. So might be why they're avoiding taking bookings through the site.

"Aw, shucks, the payment system is still broke. Just be a few months before the repair company can be by to fix it. Nothing to worry about here. No need to contact a lawyer or the AG's office." ?
