Unterkunft buchen & stornieren

Booked, and then your plans changed? The verbs you need:

• buchen / reservieren — to book / to reserve
• stornieren — to cancel (a booking); die Stornierung, -en
• umbuchen — to change a booking
• kostenlos stornieren — to cancel free of charge

Trap: you stornieren a booking, but a train or a concert that doesn’t take place fällt aus.
