I wrote this on another thread. I will repost here:
Some things to consider about someone who joined long ago and has no reviews:
- It is extremely easy to set up an Airbnb account. You need an account to access Airbnb beyond a very general search. For instance, you cannot see a host's profile or check availability unless you are logged in. Creating an account is as easy as clicking "log in with Facebook." So someone like my mother has an Airbnb account although she has never stayed in one and probably never will. But 3 years from now, that could change.
- A guest could have made a reservation in the past but the host canceled. You would have no way of knowing.
- A guest could have stayed with a host or multiple hosts who don't review. I know quite a few of these.
- People have spouses and friends and other family members who are the ones making the reservations. Even though my boyfriend has accompanied me on many stays, not all reviews show up on his profile. I'm not sure why not.
- It extremely possible that someone signed up with the intention to travel but it simply never worked out.
