Should I accept this guest?

He has been a member since March 2017 but there are no reviews on him. Should I be wary of accepting him?

It's completely up to you.  Does the guest have any other forms of verification?  Government ID?  Social media profile?  Maybe chat with them a bit and see what the story is and see if you feel more comfortable after that?

I have been hosting for less than two months, with only 6 sets of guests (each for a week long stay). Only one of my guests had a previous review. 4 of the other sets were brand new Airbnb members. The last set of guests had been members since 2016 without a review. All guests have been wonderful.

 

I agree with Ned & Laura. Start a conversation with them, and see how you feel. One of my guests, prior to booking, asked me why I did not have any reviews yet. So, maybe you could ask your potential guest, why they haven’t had a review yet. Maybe they joined last year, intending on taking a vacation, but were unable to.
