- Nemutandani (10/5): -
- AKHANIMAMBO (10/5): -
- Royalty (6/5): The stay ways lovey its just that there is alot of noise from students but other then that the stay was great - It looked like the pictures and was clean There were a few cockroaches that would appear but not as bad as how the other reviews described it so I think its getting better
- Ngwakoana (10/5): - The staff was friendly and helpful. Nothing
- Venge (9/5): - I love the staff she was so friendly and helpful in any way.
- Lesiba (2/5): -
- Nicolene (3/5): Too noisy -
- Omphile (3/5): - The Location, the Wifi. The security guy was very nice, answered all my question, had all the info about this place I arrived 2 hours later than my check-in time, and yet when i got to the room, the room was not ready. I found 4 people inside, fixing whatever they were fixing. I had to wait another hour for them to finish.
Also, the gentleman told me that there's no remote for the TV and that he will bring it later. he never came back. the following day i send him a Whatsapp text to bring remote. Long story shot, i never got to watch TV my entire stay. I thought i was gonna relax and watch Netflix, part of the reason i chose this place, but that was not the case.
Another thing, when i booked, on the website it said there are electric appliances. But in this room it was a gas stove that belonged in the 90's, i couldn't operate the dam thing. The kettle was also not electric, i needed to use the stove to boil water. Long story shot, No TV, No hot water, No coffee. I'm not even gonna start talking about the cockroaches!

- Koketso (1/5): It was a dirty horrible experience. - The location was in a good space, next to the highway and close to the gym. The apartment is falling apart, the place is very dirty and a lot of the things are broken. i struggled with getting the key as the locker is broken, the have dirty linen. the unit has cochroaches everywhere, i did not keep any of my sruff in the unit, i took back eveything to the car. i could not shower, the bathroom has mould eveywhere. The blinds are broken and people can see me from outside. the parking had another car and the security did not help.

- Thandani (1/5): Disappointed to the borne - The security guy whose name is Vumani was very good..he escorted us to the room ..he tried to make sure we are comfortable it's unfortunate we didn't see him the time we left the place Truelly speaking I was expecting the place to be cool and quiet...little did I know that it was a hostel for school students...the noise was too much ..some were even banging the doors ...was soo disappointed ...and I even tried to inform the responsible management around past 1 in the morning and she didn't bother to respond to us...am really disappointed to the borne
- MNGOMEZULU (4/5): -
- Magaia (1/5): Pay me back my money - nothing at all I had a terrible experience with this place. I booked and fully paid through Booking.com, received confirmation, and when I arrived, they told me they had no record of my booking. To make matters worse, the number listed on the booking connected me to someone who said they don’t even take bookings. I was left stranded and had to scramble to find alternative accommodation at the last minute. Even after I showed them my booking confirmation, they were unwilling to assist or resolve the situation. Very unprofessional and frustrating experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
- OZIOUS (7/5): Average ,I wasn't expecting it to be a student quarters - Everything was fine besides the nauseating noise from students , since it's located in a student accommodation, , and they must work on getting Netflix which wasn't working. Noise from Students , and the dagga smell from students rooms, Netflix not working
- Ishmael Bongani (8/5): Good place can't wait to visit again . - The place was nice and clean I really enjoyed my stay 💯💯💯 The neighbours were a bit nosy...

- Maleho (4/5): -

- simo (1/5): - Location and parking On arrival was greeted by the smell of Marijuana and two students seated on a bench outside smoking. The was a cockroach infestation. The floor tiles were loose and everything looked overused and the towels we dirty
- Phaswane Sherica (1/5): -
- Kopano (1/5): I wasn't able to go into the property and had to look for an alternative. Not happy about at all. - N/A I wasn't able to go into the property and had to look for an alternative. Not happy about this because I can't get a refund. When I called the owner they said there's nothing they can do. No one was able to let me in, so I basically paid for nothing. I feel the no refund policy is unfair in this case as it wasn't my fault.
- Nkone (7/5): Good -
- Ramphagane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nkumakang (8/5): It was excellent, and lovely - clean bedding and sheets. hot beverages, cutlery, and internet. Security guards not friendly, not helpful and have no knowledge regarding the booking process and instructions. The instruction for collecting the key was not provided or was not clear and simple. Some people talking at the passages. The cockroaches running around.

I was greeted by cockroches on the bed and walls. I put my food on the table and it had cockroches.
The blanket was filthy.
The security was very rude.
The place looks dodgy inside.
Kitchen utensils were old and dirty.
- Mike (2/5): Very poor - The location The place wasn't very clean, it has cockroaches
- Rhulani (4/5): It was disguisting to be sleeping on top of cockroaches - It was raining and the guard told me to drive to the back to park my car I will see my room next to the car, I searched for the room for a long time, until i had to call the personnel who was unable to direct me to the room. I had to drive back to the guard.
The cockroaches in that place can feed the whole world.
- Lungile (6/5): Pleasant - Location is good and fairly quiet. There's a serious cockroach infestation.. at some point they were on my bed.
- Thabo (2/5): Very poor -
- Leslie (7/5): Good -
- Uviwe (4/5): My stay was very underwhelming. - There was no electricity, which meant cold water to shower, and no lights at night. No plan was made to accommodate the guests. The room I was in was infiltrated with cockroaches. The refrigerator also had a weird smell that was off.
- Morwamakau (5/5): Passable -
- Mphulo (1/5): Bad -

- Shawn (1/5): Bad - Nothing Dirty place
- Natashia (4/5): Disappointed - The room is specious, great location peaceful and quiet The cockroachs in that room are out of this world they welcome you as soon as you you open the door. We've never seen so many cockroachs before me and my husband had to kinda clean up a bit before we slept and it was very uncomfortable even the bed was not comfortable at all and the fact that the hostess knew we were coming but didn't at least try to clean up was a bit disappointing... Do something about those cockroachs please!

- Pheleka (6/5): Pleasant - NOISY, THE NEIGHBORS WERE NOISY! FULL OF STUDENTS I HAD LEFT MY WALLET THERE BY MISTAKE UPON CHECK-OUT AND HAD TO WAIT 2 DAYS BEFORE THEY CAN GIVE ME BACK BECAUSE HOUSE KEEPING HAD IT, IMAGINE
- Simphiwe (5/5): The lady who was cleaning was the best, made sure we had a clean room, 10 star to her - For a young single, I perfect this place as there’s a lot of women and who are looking, don’t go there with your partner, those young girls don’t have respect The room had old tilling, not enough space in the kitchen and the owner must change the furniture, the whole property they just need to control the noise and the partying
- Pumeza (8/5): Very good -
- Mxolisi (8/5): Very good - The room itself it had everything I needed. Enjoyed my stay.
For longer stays it's good as it has washing machine and every essential that you need. Staying in ground floor as I wanted a little bit of a city view.
- Pumeza (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pamela (4/5): Disappointing -
- Sebenzile (10/5): Very relaxing, calm and clean - the room, it was spacious and accommodative. id like the host to explain in detail how to open the door
- Tomsana (8/5): Very good -
- Andile (9/5): Had a great time - The room was very clean, we had to check in earlier than the agree upon time and the staff was very understandable and helpful. The room was cold, there was no way to make it a bit warmer
- Ntebaleng (9/5): Except for the annoying securityman as stated above, my stay was perfect. - Cleanliness inside the room was just perfect. On arrival at the gate the securityman who was the gate (who seemed to have been relieving the regular one who was somewhere inside doing other functions) seemed to be ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS about what to do. Finally he told me to ring the regular securityman who at least came to my rescue and I was allowed in. Anyway, that is a main complex issue not Bridgeview issue.
- Phiwokuhle (3/5): Disappointing stay - Nothing Hallway is dark, very noisy couldn't sleep, and no heaters. Don't recommend it.
- Mwamba (8/5): Very good -
- Hakhakhi (9/5): It was a pleasant stay - I had tea ingredients ready for me every morning. Only having fan not having a heater/ aircorn. WiFi was not connecting on our devices.

- Said (3/5): No heat I had to shower with cold water and no electricity at all I had bad experience - Nothing No electricity at all the whole building was blackout its scary situation I had
