Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stayed 2 nights in a 1 bed apartment. I guess it is a case of getting what you pay for. Location is great - close to shopping centre and train station. Setting is pleasant - pool and gardens. But, it is very tired and worn. Really needs a good overhaul. Very basic facilities - just enough towels, pillows, knives forks, crockery, but in poor condition. No luxury at all. Dishwashing drainer rusty, stove top battered etc. this place would benefit from an upgrade, some time and energy and it would be great, not just average. Staff friendly but some language difficulties.

Very smelly. Outdated but bed was comfortable. Still waiting for a cc refund. Hard to find at night when walking from the train station.
Very difficult to deal with after checking out.
Keep promising to refund me but still waiting. Anyone have any advice on how to get my refund?
Certainly won't me recommending this place to anyone

We found Forest Lodge a few years ago when staying near relatives and it was great as most other accomodation is in the city, so this is our second visit. It's very tucked away and although surrounded by houses when on the complex it's very quiet and secluded. It comprises two main two-story blocks, with on-site parking and well-maintained greenery with a small pool in a secluded garden. Although reception has good hours, if arriving late the key is available to take. The managers have been running it for six years, do a very professional job and are friendly and helpful. The units are spacious and have a fully-equipped kitchen (no oven, just microwave) perfectly adequate for most cooking. The bathroom has a bath and a good shower. As it's a budget motel-style unit, the furnishing is adequate but not luxurious, but perfectly clean. We did find the bed mattress to be a little firm. There is a laundry to use for a small charge (wash and tumble), and a laundry service is also available for a very fair price. Enough tea and coffee is in the room for the first night, and a continental breakfast is available.
The location is excellent, nearby buses go to the university and the rail station is a short walk away which offers four trains an hour for the swift trip into the city. The vast Indooroopilly Shopping Centre is about 15 minutes walk away, and the excellent Castellis pizza and pasta restaurant is just around the corner.

Very straightforward after-hours check-in. Immaculately clean rooms, excellent hot water, very comfortable bed. All that you need in kitchen utensils. Stayed in Room 32, upstairs.

Immaculately maintained gardens and grounds, clean pool. BBQ near pool cooks very very slowly; plenty of gas supply so perhaps a thorough clean of the connectors or a new grill is required?

Very close to the massive Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and Indooroopilly Golf Course, where we attended a family wedding. Historic Regatta Hotel in Toowong a few minutes drive.

An excellent stay.

Avoid at all cost. The place is filthy, and rundown is an understatement. Mould growing on furniture, filth on walls, broken bedroom door held on with one hinge, nearly fell off. Bathroom falling apart. Just shabby. Uninhabitable and should be removed off booking sites. You could tell from even driving in as the grounds are not cared for either. I did not stay and all money was refunded. Staff even admitted the place is not suitable. Being used now for long term stays by people who can't find housing.

Sheets where dirty and had blood and something else that smelt horrible on them, old run down, back of toilet was taped up. Shower and bath old and dated, manager at the time was too busy talking to friends out the front to show us where our room was. All in all, a bad experience and wouldn't recommend the place to anyone

I've given 5 stars not because it's a slendiferous luxury, but because it is perfect in atmosphere and value. Right in the middle of Indooroopilly, one of the older and enjoyable suburbs of Brisbane (in case you didn't know, Brisbane has a mix of horrible and delightful suburbs, and Indooroopilly is delightful!), close to train and bus, close to shops, close to green leafy walking, well presented and clean units.

But what really hit it off for us was the wonderful garden. It took us back to the Malayan Peninsular ambience.

I don't have anything to complain about with Forest Lodge. The units were comfortable, the bed comfortable, silent nights, and even a gas stove! Certainly, we will be back as this is an eminently suitable accommodation in the heart of Brisbane.

This complex is located in the suburb of Indooroopilly. Ideal for families - comfortable self contained 2 bedroom units. The 2 acres of treed grounds with BBQ and pool made for a relaxing time. We found the managers incredibly friendly and helpful. Close to a large shopping mall and downtown 15 mins away by train. We have used this facility many times in the last 7 years and will continue to do so.

We were in this place in march during 10 days approx. The landlord and his wife were very kind and friendly. I had a problem with the internet and he helped me with care. The environment is full of trees and plants, and you feel safe sleeping in this place.
If we go to Brisbane again we will go to forest lodge apart. again!
Thank you and a big hug from Spain :)

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon at 3PM, nobody at a locked reception area, tried to phone the telephone number only to get an answering machine, left a message, but never got a reply.

I had a confirmed booking and had already paid for the room.

Luckily I found a room at the Lucia Gardens for myself and family for the night.

Contacted the Forest Lodge later by email and did get a full refund.
