| Cape Times Sam Adams Motel slasher movie all thrills, no frills. | 10 | |
| iAfrica.com Rob Peters 'Vacancy' has all the right ingredients, but it falls just short, failing to land the killer blow with an extremely poor ending... | 8 | |
| Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 12 |  |
| The Citizen Sabrina Dean Vacancy kept me on the edge of my seat for the bulk of its duration, only to climax with a silly, almost formulaic ending. | 10 | |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge | 10 | |
| 24.com Ivan Sadler Vacancy isn't genius by any means, but you should be on the edge of your seat for most of it. | 10 | |
| BBC Jamie Russell Be warned: this is watered down studio schlock for audiences who like their horror motels to come with a 'Please Do Not Disturb' sign. | 5 |  |
| Box Office Mark Keizer There may be a Vacancy, but go ahead and move on down the road to the next fleabag motel | 5 | |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman Despite its hapless-tourists-stranded-on-a-snuff-film-set premise, there’s actually less gore in Vacancy than its contemporary torture-porn cousins. | 10 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Vacancy is a nicely compact, tense thriller that loses a little of its punch as a result of a rushed, generic ending. | 15 |  |
| ScreenItI just wish the film didn't devolve into a standard thriller with all of the usual clichés and conventions, even if the filmmakers do put a slight, if nevertheless unsatisfactory twist on some of what's to be expected. | 10 | |
