They just need to discount the price enough to get a few people willing to take a risk and write the first reviews.

I live in Airbnbs for half of the year, so occasionally I'll take a gamble on an unreviewed place with good pictures and a well written listing. So far I've almost always had a good experience with a 40-60% discount relative to comparable listings.

It’s almost always a pricing issue. Drop the price low enough and someone will take a risk.

Hell, it can be listed as “cockroach infested shithole” and of the price and location is right someone will take it.
