Not every EU/EEA country requires passport/ID checks of hotel guests.

I check into lots of hotels in Europe without showing any photo ID. And then there are other countries where I am always (or nearly always) asked to show a passport or national ID card

The name and birthdate in hand can help lead to lots of info about some people.
