I booked an Air Bnb in the south of France back in January. It was a new listing with no reviews yet and hence I got a good price as there was a reduction for the first three bookings. I was nervous about this but the place looked great and the host was really reassuring and friendly (said she'd moved in with her boyfriend and decided to air bnb her flat). Always very responsive to messages about the place etc. It's in quite a desirable location. I kept an eye on it after booking and was relieved when the first review came in - 5 stars. However from then till now, although it looks like the place is booked up a lot, there have only been 3 reviews in total. All 5 stars and all sound genuine. Comment on the things that matter to me about the apartment and two of them also say the host was lovely. But why are there only 3 reviews in 5 months?! I am not sure if maybe this is just the host's friends. There are no bad reviews though. I'm just concerned. I've tried to find the place on Booking.com and it's not on there as far as I can see (I wondered if it was rented out elsewhere when it looks like it's booked up on Air BnB and the reviews were going somewhere else).
