Pre-Approval

What should I think when a potential guest has 7 positive sounding reviews but only 3 host recommendations?

@Johanna247 I would say go for it. Was there anything within the reviews that was a red flag to you? If not, I think the discrepancy between the recommendations and reviews can be ignored. Seven consistently positive reviews is a great record, don't you think?

Thanks Daniel!

@Johanna247, not every host can see if a guest is recommended. I don't know why. I cannot. My co-hosts can. So I only have the option to make decisions purely off the reviews. If a guest had 7 good reviews, I would go for it.

[Johanna247]

Thank you for that !

@Johanna247 benign reasons for this include: multiple reviews from the same host, and reviews from group stays where the guest was not the booker.  You can see whether these apply when you look at the reviews.

[Johanna247]

Ok, thanks!

Unfortunately some hosts are lazy and don't review their guests @Johanna247

They had 2 reviews which were ok. I'm thinking they havent left reviews when they thought they might not get good reviews, They are a group of english/european  young adults who (I think ) have been on the road for awhile
