Guest reviews

[Jack1543]

Hi.  Someone who's enquired to book my property has 6 reviews, two of which are from different people but the exact same wording, word for word.  Is this dodgy?  Could be fake reviews?

My gut feeling was that something seemed strange as they didn't tell me anything about themselves - just said "I will be arriving in the evening.  Where will the key be?"

Thanks

@Jack1543   I'd encourage you to engage in some dialogue with the guest before providing direct access to your home. The duplicate reviews are a bit odd, but considering that many "host" profiles are actually just dummy accounts of property managers with huge numbers of listings, it's not all that uncommon. Click on the profiles of the hosts who left reviews for more insight into what's going on.
