 * created role, they cannot delete the selected post (reservation) to the trash.
   An error occurs that they do not have access.

 * Look if your role has all related user capabilities:
 * delete_posts
   delete_published_posts – if post is in “Publish” statedelete_private_posts–
   if post is privatedelete_others_posts – if post was added by other user

 * I have it set up that way. I also tried to enable everything for the role but
   it didn’t help. As admin I can delete/edit post-reservations but not other roles.

 * What about try the own capability type for this custom post type, as ‘reservation’
   instead of ‘post’? that is:
 * edit_reservations
   edit_published_reservationsdelete_reservations…etc.
