A new profile can not have reviews already.Ask the guest to verify ID and to update their profile with some info. Ask any questions you have. Depending on answers received make your decision. I deal a lot with guests having new profiles. If they do not respond to my questions at satisfaction, i decline them. If they do respond in a constructive way, i give it a try.

@Kerry213   You can ask him to fill in his profile/upload a government ID, and/or ask a couple of questions.  Just because he has no prior reviews isn't necessarily bad, but I have found that people who have nothing on their profile, no description or background, no ID, no location are often poor guests and poor communicators...and I see this increasing a lot this year.

I have a lot of these new guests, everyone has to start somewhere. But ask whatever you need to know!
