I have a drupal site where reservations are available. We use fullcalendar module to visualize the room reservations. For a reservation the user needs to add a new content. The content uses taxonomy terms as rooms. Now I'd like to achive that once the user creates a new booking content and chooses the room, when it is not available, the user should be warned. I mostly use rules and i am a bit unexperienced with drupal, now I'm trying to learn.

There are a number of ways to achieve the booking features in Drupal, try comparing here: Comparison of Booking System modules
One way that comes to mind for your specific case is using Flag module because you can set a Flag to be global, once an entity is marked as "occupied" that status is valid across the site. It's well integrated with Views and Rules, so you could probably do a lot there.
Another way might be to use Views Entity reference display for the Field widget when the user is creating a reservation. The Views would make sure to exclude all the terms for the Vocabulary that are already being used, so only "free" terms would show up when creating a new booking.
