Learn English – Does english have a name for people who have made a reservation

word-request

The title pretty much sums up the problem; if a person make a reservation, is there a word which describes that person as a person who has made a reservation?

Best Answer

I would much prefer "reservee" over reserver.

One to, or for, whom anything is reserved;

The rules aren't standardized, of course, but "reserve" is a French word and we often use the -ee ending in English to form the past participle, as with

employ -> employee
train -> trainee

I wouldn't really recognize "reserver" as a word. If you must have a single word for this, I'd use reservee... but I still think that the more common "reservation holder" or similar would be better.
