I think the following should do what you want.
SELECT h.id, r.id, r.start_date, r.end_date
FROM hosts h
LEFT JOIN (reservation_hosts m INNER JOIN reservation r
ON m.reservation_id = r.id
AND (r.start_date,r.end_date) OVERLAPS (${window_start},${window_end})
ON h.id = m.host_id
WHERE h.id NOT IN (
SELECT m.host_id
FROM reservation r, reservation_hosts m
WHERE r.id = m.reservation_id
AND m.host_id IS NOT NULL
AND (r.start_date,r.end_date) OVERLAPS (${requested_start},${requested_end})
ORDER BY h.id, r.start_date)
The formatting is somewhat grim, but I think it should do what you want.
