Is "reserve" here the same as "reservation, booking"?.
“This booking does not accept changes due to the hotel policy. Additionally, if the cancellation occurs less than 72 hours before the date of entry into the hotel, the customer will pay an amount may vary from the price of one night and 100% of the amount of **reserves** depending on the destination date and hotel booked.”

reservation fee
The text is badly composed but I would understand it as the reservation fee which will have been paid at the time of making the reservation.

This is what I take the expression to mean; a travel trade shorthand expression.
Discussion
I would mark the confusing passages and inform the client that it is impossible to translate them without the author explaining what he/she actually means. Without more information to go on, you can speculate for hours and still never interpret such codswollop with certainty.
