New listings can't show up in search filters without a minimum number of reviews, usually three. This traps new hosts: fewer bookings mean fewer reviews, so they stay invisible. Thibault Masson explains the catch-22 that keeps fresh properties buried.
If you have a new property and somebody says filters out any properties that's below 4.8, even if you have one review that's like a five, you won't show up because you need three reviews to get awarded a review score that will put on your listing page and that will also make you start appearing in the filters. It can be chicken and egg, because you need to show up in these filters to get some bookings. And when you get the bookings, get reviews and you get the reviews. Enough reviews get review score.
