Based on recent customer reviews, CampusKey is facing significant dissatisfaction from students and parents across its Potchefstroom, Gqeberha, Pretoria, Cape Town, and Rosebank residences. Customers consistently mention frustration with delayed deposit refunds, poor responsiveness from management, and unexpected or unexplained charges on statements. A recurring theme is concern about maintenance standards, with complaints about broken washing machines, pest infestations, and unreliable wifi. Tenants also express that rising rental prices do not appear to align with the quality of service or living conditions provided, leaving many feeling unheard and undervalued.

Campuskey in Bloemfontein is extremely expensive yet they do not match their services to what their customers pay for. Firstly, the wifi is completely terrible and we have complained multiple times yet they do not do anything about it. Secondly, the water pressure is just as us not having water. If you want to have normal pressure, you have to shower before 6AM. After that everything malfunctions. Their washing machines don’t work most of the time, and genuinely we have tried complaining everywhere yet they don’t do anything.

I had app**** for the deposit refund on the 4th of Jan and it was clearly stated that the refun will take 30 days. Now I’m busy calling them @Potch, no one seems to answer the call and only rep**** to my whatsapp text telling me the person responsible for refunds is on leave. But you are so quick to email us when we have outstanding balances but fail to keep the same energy!! It is really so annoying and frustrating!

I am Maria and i have stayed at Campuskey in Cape Town Observatory for two years. I checked out in November last year and was told to give my inspector my banking details when requesting for my deposit refund. Only to find that there was a link i was supposed to sent by Campuskey to fill in my details in order for me to get my deposit refund, which i was not even told about. I had to call them multiple times and email them twice and got no response. They said that the refund is supposed to take 21 working business days but it’s been a month now. My deposit has been due since last week Friday the 23rd of Jan according to what they calculated but it’s Monday, the 26th and i still haven’t received my deposit. No one is answering my calls and emails. This is so unprofessional and unacceptable. I want my refund.
