Reviews don’t only attract customers, they also determine the price of your property based on how famous it is. If there aren’t any reviews, you won’t have justification for high prices. Your property must be known enough for you to charge an appropriate sum. Hence, reviews also determine your visibility and credibility in the market. 

In the table below, we see how properties with more than 100 reviews have earned about $23,862 in 2021. This is the highest revenue generated as compared to the properties that have less than 100 reviews.
