Cockroaches are not a constant occurrence in apartments and are not necessarily caused by poor hygiene. Reports say they are almost never seen in good hotels.
In August one traveler spotted a cockroach almost the size of a small rat — large specimens aren't unusual here, especially in the humid season.
One guest reported a single cockroach in their hotel room, likely coming in from an open window — a one-off, not necessarily a sign of infestation.
Travelers with pets asked about villas/houses — insects can indeed get inside, especially with a garden or yard, so it's worth checking pest control measures with the landlord in advance.
After counting 7 cockroaches and spotting larvae in a rented apartment, tenants started pest control themselves and planned to demand action from the landlord.

Other renters advise insisting the landlord arrange professional pest control rather than dealing with it entirely on your own.
In late June a newcomer asked how worried they should be about cockroaches in rented apartments — a common concern for people just arriving.
