They don't pull information from other hotel websites / booking systems. Instead the hotels owners have to update that information themselves:

a quote from their website:

"LateRooms.com is an accommodation database through which hoteliers can sell their empty beds directly to customers at short notice.
You are given access to your own details 24 hours a day, allowing you to adjust your rates according to your current availability. "

Pulling information from a wide variety of different hotels would be almost impossible because most hotel websites / booking systems don't have a way of pulling that information from their websites.
And even if they do, there's most likely no standardized way of pulling that information. So Laterooms would have to build a script to pull in information for every different website.

So the most easy way to get accurate information on laterooms.com is a system were hotels can manually enter / update information about their empty rooms & pricing.
