Serious Hygiene and Pest Issues – Extremely Disappointing Stay
As soon as we entered the apartment, I began photographing its condition. We found damaged walls, stained and damaged carpet, a dented refrigerator, and, most concerning, live cockroaches inside the kitchen drawers, on the kitchen benchtop, and even inside the toaster. For a property marketed as self-catering, this was completely unacceptable. There was also no broom, dustpan or vacuum cleaner available to maintain basic cleanliness. After reporting the issues, staff initially refused to provide a vacuum cleaner before eventually leaving one in the apartment, which my travelling companion used to clean the dining area himself.
Our interaction with management was equally disappointing. The Front of House Manager, who identified himself only as "MJ", refused to provide his full name when we requested it to make a formal complaint and responded, "You can complain wherever you want." We found this dismissive and unprofessional.
The most disturbing incident occurred at approximately 3:00 am on our final night when I woke after feeling something on my foot. I discovered a live insect and also a live cockroach on the bed. I immediately recorded the incident on my phone.
After returning home, what initially appeared to be a minor insect bite became infected. I required multiple visits to my GP, wound care from the practice nurse, prescription antibiotics, and regular dressing changes. The wound ultimately took more than seven weeks to heal, and I have extensive medical records and photographs documenting the injury and its recovery.
I lodged formal complaints with Code Apartments, Booking.com and the relevant Brisbane health authorities. Despite providing evidence, including photographs, videos and medical documentation, I have not received any meaningful explanation or the outcome of any investigation.
My purpose in leaving this review is not simply to express my disappointment but to warn other travellers. In my opinion, accommodation advertised as self-catering should meet basic standards of cleanliness, hygiene and pest control. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend staying at Code Apartments Bowen Hills.
