@Stuart297 No, you can't transfer listings or reviews. Reviews are really reviews of the host, not the property, even though they mention the property itself. A listing could be a great property, but if the host wasn't conscientious, didn't make sure the place was well-cleaned and that everything was working properly, was rude in their interactions with guests or didn't give timely responses to guest messages, it wouldn't matter how nice the place was, it'll still get bad reviews. Conversely, you could have a very basic offering, nothing fancy about it at all, but guests are treated really well, the place is super clean and comfortable, and will get rave reviews.
This is why the reviews stay with the profile rather than being transferable.
If the previous owner wants to let you use the same photos and text, that's between you two. but you'd have to copy it, you can't just transfer it to another account.
It would be best if the current owner blocks his calendar from reservations past the closing date, otherwise all the booked guests would have to be contacted to advise of the change of host, and given the opportunity to either have the reservation cancelled with full refund, or rebooked under your account. Guests book based in part on the reviews, so there may be some who wouldn't want to take a chance with a new host, or they might be fine with it.
