Hospiten レビュー 97

Avoid at all costs! I went with my 4 year old daughter via ambulance. Interpreter on arrival was rude and abrupt and not at all compassionate or considerate. After X-rays were clear we were told she needed to stay 24 hours for observation. We had nothing with us so I called my husband who was at the hotel to bring us bits for the night. He had our 6 year old son. I was told he had to drop bag at reception only as they would not let my son visit as he was under 12. So my worried husband couldn’t even see our daughter. We were admitted to our room around 3pm. We hadn’t eaten since breakfast and around 5 she started asking for food again. I asked as we had nothing to be told yes it was coming. I continued at ask, it arrived just after 8pm. We were starving and the food was far less than desirable even for hospital food. See attached. We shared the dry bread roll. No observations were done on her during the night even although they had been worried about her oxygen levels. (Her breathing was fine so I did not chase). Breakfast was only a carton of apple juice and an orange. In the morning I was chasing for doctor as my daughter was much better after IV antibiotics, who did not arrive until just before 11am. When the doctor arrived we were told we could leave without follow up or medication, we only needed the medical report. They refused to take cannula off my daughter even after this until they had the medical report. I was chasing this in the hospital and also through our insurance and it took them just over 3 hours to write a simple report. In this time my daughter was starving only having had an orange, lunch came at 1 and we were not allowed anything sooner. My daughter was cold so I asked for the cannula to be taken off or at least detached so we could put her jumper on. This was also refused. On discharge they then said all of a sudden she did need medication and to continue antibiotics which we could get at any pharmacy. We were told told as it’s the weekend many are closed and after arriving back at our hotel we then needed another taxi to the next town to the nearest open pharmacy. All in all a terrible service, food awful and inedible even by hospital standards and an extreme lack in patient care. Avoid at all costs as they just seem to want money.

trappola per turisti, spesi 1.400 dollari per una visita ad una neoanta di 6 mesi, assurdo. Ladri è fargli un complimento. Non hanno pietà di nessuno. La dottoressa è stata brava ma solo Lei si salva da quel posto, per il resto vedono bene come estorcere denaro . Oltre a quello solo per accomodarti alla guardia medica del resort ci voglio 220 dollari, ovviamente chiunque si trova nella guardia medica spinge per mandarti all'hospiteh, perchè loro sono collusi con l'ospedale avendo una commissione per ogni cliente che mandano.

Mi experiencia fue fatal. Tenía que haber leído los comentarios antes. Lo bueno es que me hicieron un favor con no atenderme, así no vieron ni un céntimo mío.
Y le pongo un uno porque es el mínimo para poder comentar.

This review is done to highlight the appalling and inhumane manner in which my wife and our family were treated while she was a patient at Hospital Universitario Hospiten Sur, Tenerife.

During an already devastating and traumatic time, the actions and attitudes of staff caused additional and entirely avoidable suffering, which no family should ever endure. The care, communication, and basic humanity shown to us fell far below any acceptable medical, professional, or ethical standard.

On the morning my wife passed away, our family was refused entry to the Intensive Care Unit, despite it being abundantly clear that she was in the final stages of her life. We were subsequently ordered to leave and physically removed, with no compassion, explanation, or consideration for the fact that this was likely to be our last opportunity to be with her.

As a direct result of this decision, we were denied the chance to be at my wife’s bedside as she died. Instead of being informed by a doctor or senior member of staff, we were told of her death via an interpreter, an act that was not only inappropriate but deeply distressing and disrespectful. This moment, which will remain with us for the rest of our lives, was handled with a complete absence of dignity, sensitivity, or humanity.

The manner in which my wife’s body was then treated was equally appalling. She was placed in what can only be described as little more than a bin or container, covered with nothing more than a sheet. This was not a mortuary environment befitting a deceased patient, but a degrading and distressing sight for a grieving family. Once again, rather than being accompanied by medical staff, an interpreter was sent to take us to see her, compounding the sense that responsibility, compassion, and professionalism were entirely lacking.

Of further concern was the conduct of a doctor whose unprofessional, cold, and uncaring attitude was evident throughout. At no point did this doctor demonstrate empathy, sensitivity, or an understanding of the gravity of the situation. Their dismissive manner and apparent indifference to our distress were wholly unacceptable and deeply damaging.

The cumulative effect of these actions has caused lasting emotional trauma to myself and my family. The denial of access to my dying wife, the manner in which we were informed of her death, and the degrading treatment of her body represent a profound failure of duty of care and basic human decency.

I am therefore formally requesting:
1. A full written acknowledgement and response to this complaint.
2. A comprehensive investigation into the conduct of the staff and doctor involved.
3. A clear explanation as to why our family was refused access to the ICU during my wife’s final moments.
4. Details of what disciplinary or corrective actions will be taken to prevent such treatment of other families.
5. Confirmation that this complaint has been escalated to senior management and formally recorded.

This letter is written not only out of grief, but out of a deep sense of injustice. My wife deserved dignity in her final moments, and our family deserved compassion and respect. We received neither.

No cogen el teléfono. Llevo todo el día llamando.

I needed a simple prescription for me 4 Yr old boy who had conjunctivitis (an eye infection from swimming pool) I knew exactly what I needed from the chemist but I was sent to this hospital for a check up. I was forced to pay 400 euros before I could see a doctor. They said this was a deposit and I would get money back. I asked how much it would cost for the check up and the lady on reception told me 100 euros or less. We saw a doctor who checked over my son which took less than 1 minute. I got a prescription from him and they charged my card 250 euros. I asked why and the receptionist told me that was the price. She absolutely would not refund my card. I feel robbed and this price and service was shocking. Please don't go here. They are thieves - not caring people at all.

Our experience at Hospiten Riviera Maya following a serious spinal injury was deeply concerning.

After a traumatic accident, a CT scan confirmed a lumbar vertebral fracture involving the posterior wall and partial compromise of the spinal canal. Surgery was initially recommended by the attending orthopaedic surgeon.

However, once it became clear that insurance would not cover the treatment, the clinical plan changed abruptly and surgery was no longer considered necessary. No new imaging or clear clinical justification was provided for this change.

Pain management was also delayed until additional financial payment was made, despite severe pain and a confirmed spinal injury. Adequate analgesia was only provided after a substantial deposit was transferred.

During the inpatient stay, basic nursing care appeared to be largely absent. As I was unable to sit or mobilise independently, received no assisted mobilisation, no hygiene support for several days, and no structured monitoring. Care was effectively provided by a non-medical companion under remote guidance from medically trained family members.

That companion remained at the hospital continuously, as it was not safe to leave me unattended. However, as she was not admitted as a patient, she was not provided with food. The hospital cafeteria was frequently closed, and due to unfamiliarity with the area and safety concerns, she did not feel able to leave the hospital alone.

When she asked staff about food options, no practical support was offered, even when we explicitly stated we were willing to pay or have the cost added to my bill. On one occasion, she was advised to go outside the hospital and ask a passer-by for help in obtaining food. This response was both inappropriate and concerning.

Further concerns included delayed thrombosis prevention measures and lack of proper instruction regarding spinal support equipment.

Despite submitting a formal complaint, a follow-up, and a final notice, no response has been received from the hospital.

We would have strongly preferred a professional and constructive resolution. Unfortunately, the lack of engagement has left me with no alternative but to share this experience.

I hope the hospital will review its practices to ensure patient safety, ethical standards, and basic care are consistently upheld.

I remain open to direct contact from Hospiten Group to resolve this matter.

Had to go at clinic on resort at Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana, Dra Yadhia Duran was reassuring and explained very well what was happening. She helped with contacting insurance company, spoke to them, go everything done for me. Ended up in Hospiten Bavaro were I was treated quickly and courteously. Staff was very nice and everyone spoke English. Would recommend

I recently had the displeasure of being treated in this hospital! I went in on a Thursday for nausea, thought feeling better and left against medical advice. Tues. we were leaving and I got very sick in airport, was transported to hospital by ambulance. Was admitted and had several tests X-ray, ct scan lots of blood tests. Dr. was going to scope me didn’t eat all day and he never showed up! So we said we were leaving. They were not happy! Barbara and Dr. said we were not being held captive, meanwhile Barbara took my phone and wrote her own review for me. We get to airport and we were told need a safe to fly paper, went back to hospital NO ONE came down to help. Our cab driver(God love him) drove us around Montego Bay to a clinic and we paid a wonderful Dr to write our letter! Or else I would have had to check into that hell hole! The night they admitted me they came in and said we have to put $7,000 on your credit card card! Charged my husband $116.00 usd each night, no pillow, no blanket. Also my love to Tracy, Barbara didn’t mention you in my last review but you were the best!! I truly appreciated your compassion in a difficult situation. Tracy was the phlebotomist ( blood draw IV placement) Thank you again Traci!! ❤️ ❤️ Mindy M Nowacki USA

This happened during our recent stay at Dreams La Romana, Bayahibe, Dominican republic.

While the resort itself met expectations in terms of facilities and staff, our experience was significantly impacted by a medical referral made by the on-site doctor. When our one-year-old daughter became seriously ill (39°C fever, diarrhea, throat infection), we were directed to the clinic Hospiten Bavaro in Punta Cana.

At the clinic, our child was left without medical assessment for over three hours, and we spent approximately five hours total in the facility. Communication was poor, care was delayed, and there appeared to be a disproportionate focus on payment and insurance processing. The total cost exceeded USD 1,200. During our visit, we encountered another family from the same resort whose infant had reportedly been waiting for close to ten hours.

As international guests, we relied on the recommendation made by a medical provider operating on hotel premises. Such referrals carry an implicit endorsement, particularly at a family-oriented Hyatt property. Directing guests to a clinic with such standards raises serious concerns regarding guest safety and exposes the brand to reputational risk.

Please be careful. Go with travel insurance and most importantly ask locals, but do not go to HOSPITEN, it is a scam preying on vulnerable tourists.

HOSPITEN es un hospital privado que, al menos en Lanzarote, deja mucho que desear.

He llegado a la conclusión de que muchos de los pacientes que acudimos a este hospital lo hacemos por descarte, simplemente porque no tenemos otra opción privada en la isla. A menudo se critica a la sanidad pública, pero la realidad es que este hospital privado resulta incluso más deficiente.

El pasado lunes solicité una cita con un traumatólogo y me la han concedido para dentro de cinco meses. Resulta incomprensible que, contando con cuatro traumatólogos en plantilla, el tiempo de espera sea tan excesivo. Ante esta situación, uno llega incluso a preguntarse cuánto habría que esperar en la sanidad pública.

Considero que estos plazos no son aceptables para un centro sanitario privado y espero que se revise esta situación, ya que afecta directamente a la calidad asistencial que reciben los pacientes.

Having experienced the diabolical treatments of this so called hospital, which is without a doubt a front for a worldwide scam, with threats at gunpoint, I can only concur with other's who have submitted reviews that this must be, no is, the most amateur and uncaring hospital group in the world.
To start, and it is detailed so be ready for the full truthful story.
We were staying at the BAHIA PRINCIPE Amber in Dominican Republic from the 3rd December to the 17th December 2025, when I had an attack of Gout. Having had this painful onset for over 40 years now, I knew that if I could have got a quick jab of cortisone I would be fine for the next few months, so I went to the clinic doctor on site.
She examined me and stated that she would insist that I go to the clinic for blood tests and help to alleviate the swelling and pain, that's when the SCAM starts.
A Taxi arrived which transported my wife and I past no less than 3 hospitals to a trading estate around 40 minutes from our hotel. On arrival at the "Hospiten" Bavaro, we were bombarded with forms to sign all in Spanish with no given explanation as to what they were, but this is medical professionals so what could go wrong.
Finally we were taken to a room where without further to do I was hooked up onto what I believed was a saline drip (But who knows). After 40 minutes a man came in wearing a white coat introduced himself a Mr. ****** looked at my toe and told me I had broken it and I should have my foot put in a cast, I had to explain it was gout which is well known to me as a sufferer. I was then told I needed Blood tests to confirm my well being before any medication could be administered. 1 hour later a young lady came in and took some bloods through the needle they had used for the saline, she then disappeared for 30 minutes only to arrive back with more forms asking for payment for the blood tests, we signed as by now we were confused and unsure what was really happening, ( I have seen the film "Hostel" and it was building up to that sort of feeling of apprehension )
about 1 hour later the first man came back and told me a doctor would come to see me and explain the next steps. A lady in blue scrubs arrived and told me that I had gout? She continued explaining that it was serious and that I should take her advice and be admitted to the unit (By Now I had realised it was not a hospital, not even a field hospital ) she continued to tell me that it could be a few days of observation, and to be prepared for the worst?
Knowing and living with Gout I strongly denied her advice and asked her if she could administer some pain relief, reluctantly she offered some anti biotics and a mixture of drugs which I have a list of, but so far not been able to understand what they are for.
Everything now takes a turn to the dark side of this front for a SCAM.
We were told by the woman in scrubs that we could now leave the facility, ensuring as she did we had the appropriate medical insurance.
We went out to the reception area where they had been processing my insurance and told me that they had not had payment authorised, but did have my authorisation number back from the insurers, and it would be a further hour or so before I could leave, unless I paid cash. I stated that we had all insurances in place, that fell on deaf ears, the admin manager was a total nightmare with no interest in welfare at all just money. As we had been there for many hours so far and we had no cash or cards on us, not expecting this outcome when leaving our hotel, we explained insurance was in place and we were leaving as we had not had any drink, or food since early morning, and as I am diabetic I needed to have something. We started to leave to unit and the aforementioned nightmare woman screamed at us, ran outside and commanded the Taxi's not to take us back to the hotel she called security guards who told us we had to go back inside the unit and could not leave, threatening us with hands on their sidearms, this panicked my wife to almost hysteria, even though she had worked in the UK police for 16 years.
Things got steadily worse over the next 3 hours, and while we were in this situation so were three other families. A French couple had a baby with a high temperature, a English couple the wife having a serious stomach bug, and an American couple who basically were cowering in the corner as they were so unsure as to what was going to happen to them, all these people had insurance which was disregarded by this Hospiten Group they would only accept cash or debit card, no bank transfer or any other type of payment, including insurance.
As this seemed a standoff and we were in a country where we had no idea of the legality of our situation, which could only be described as hostage taking for ransom monies, I called a couple in our hotel arranged for them to collect from our room my card to pay this threat.

Hace una semana me hice una prueba en laboratorio y me dieron cita para una semana más tarde para otra prueba en laboratorio tambien,viendo todos los informes médicos que tenía y la firma de mi médico de cabecera y sellado con su número de colegiado para hacerme esa segunda prueba, y cuando las presente me dijo una chica en recepción que presentando esos papeles q me indicó estaría todo bien. Así que llegó hoy hacerme esa segunda prueba y me recibe en recepción otra chica con unas uñas enormes marrones y de pelo suelto negro media melena diciéndome que esos documentos q yo presento no son suficientes y le digo yo pero si encima pago yo la prueba me dice que no puedo hacérmela porque no solo basta la firma de mi médico y número de colegiado sino un escrito a mano que me diga q tengo que hacerme esa prueba . Unae dice una cosa otra me dice otra y al final me quedo sin prueba diciéndome lo de malas maneras en plan buscate la vida y te jodes pues no me parece bien. Salí muy disgustada y llorando de allí . Después de estar 24h sin comer nada

My husband and I were staying at the Sandals in Montego Bay, and even though we are in our 70's, they put on us in a room where we had to climb MANY marble stairs to get to. So, I fell coming down the stairs and was carted off to this HORRIBLE hospiten-Montego Bay. Before we could even get in the ER door (and I was screaming in pain!) we had to pay $800 just to get in! Then I was seen by a doctor (?) who confirmed that I had a SEVERE break of my wrist. The took me down to this dungeon, which was supposed to be an "operating room" and proceeded to start yanking on my fingers to try to re-align things, I guess. I was SCREAMING bloody murder from the horrid pain I was in, and mind you, they had an IV in for pain medication BUT NEVER USED IT!! Finally, we said we just wanted to leave that torture chamber, so they put it in a cast, and let us go back to the resort, but not before we paid close to $20,000!! For a cast? Come on!! Needless to say, we got on the quickest flight back to the states. where they said I had THREE severe fractures, that took several operations to fix! PLEASE don't ever let anyone take you to this horrid place!!

No vayan con Iván Hernando Chamorro Bucheli

TRES HORAS Y MEDIA de espera para una consulta de trauma, con cita previa. Nos dijeron de vigilar la pantalla donde aparecía la llamada para consulta y al ver que no se movía, preguntamos y nos dicen que están llamando por nombre. No era verdad!! Una auténtica tomadura de pelo. Toda la mañana perdida por una consulta rutinaria. Lamentable.

🇬🇧 **English**

When you have an appointment, you usually receive a message the day before — and often again on the same day — to confirm it, period.
But when it comes to an operation, they call you one or two days in advance. They don’t send an email; they call.

However, if you’re in the car or somewhere without reception, you might see the missed call, but when you try to call back, the trouble begins.
You get a long recorded message about how they protect your personal data, that it’s sacred, and that it’s for your own safety.
But there’s nowhere to press 1 to continue or press 2 to speak to appointments — nothing at all.

It’s just frustrating how they handle it. No email, no SMS, nothing. And everything only in Spanish.
Then the English, German, and Dutch people have to somehow figure out what it all means.
Sometimes the Spanish is so fast you can’t follow it. Other times it’s slower, and you think you might understand, but it just keeps going — no ending, no beep, no “leave a message” or “call this number.”

In short, it’s just useless.
And now my appointment at a quarter past eight — which was properly scheduled — has expired.
Tonight, I have to go back to the doctor to make a new appointment.
And probably, the whole circus will start all over again.
A worthless system.

🇩🇪 **Deutsch**

Wenn man einen Termin hat, bekommt man normalerweise am Vortag — und oft sogar am selben Tag — eine Nachricht, um den Termin zu bestätigen, Punkt.
Aber wenn es um eine Operation geht, wird man ein oder zwei Tage vorher angerufen. Keine E-Mail, kein Schreiben — sie rufen an.

Doch wenn man im Auto sitzt oder keinen Empfang hat, sieht man vielleicht die verpasste Nummer, aber sobald man zurückruft, fängt der Ärger an.
Man hört eine endlose Bandansage darüber, wie sie deine persönlichen Daten schützen, dass das heilig ist und zu deiner Sicherheit dient.
Aber es gibt keine Option wie „Drücken Sie 1, um fortzufahren“ oder „Drücken Sie 2 für Termine“. Gar nichts.

Es ist einfach frustrierend, wie sie damit umgehen. Keine E-Mail, keine SMS, gar nichts. Und alles nur auf Spanisch.
Dann müssen die Engländer, Deutschen und Niederländer irgendwie herausfinden, was das alles bedeutet.
Manchmal ist das Spanisch so schnell, dass man nichts versteht. Und wenn es langsamer ist, glaubt man, etwas zu verstehen, aber die Ansage geht einfach immer weiter — ohne Ende, ohne Piepton, ohne „Nachricht hinterlassen“ oder „diese Nummer anrufen“.

Kurz gesagt: Es ist einfach wertlos.
Und jetzt ist mein Termin um Viertel nach acht — der ordnungsgemäß geplant war — verfallen.
Heute Abend muss ich wieder zum Arzt gehen, um einen neuen Termin zu vereinbaren.
Und wahrscheinlich beginnt der ganze Zirkus von vorne.
Ein wertloses System.

🇪🇸 **Español**

Cuando tienes una cita, normalmente recibes un mensaje el día anterior — e incluso el mismo día — para confirmarla, punto.
Pero cuando se trata de una operación, te llaman uno o dos días antes. No envían un correo electrónico, te llaman por teléfono.

Sin embargo, si estás en el coche o en un lugar sin cobertura, puede que veas la llamada perdida, pero cuando intentas devolverla, empieza el problema.
Escuchas una grabación interminable sobre cómo protegen tus datos personales, que eso es sagrado y que es por tu seguridad.
Pero no hay ninguna opción que diga: “Pulsa 1 para continuar” o “Pulsa 2 para citas”. Nada en absoluto.

Es frustrante cómo lo gestionan. Sin correo electrónico, sin SMS, nada. Y todo solo en español.
Entonces los ingleses, los alemanes y los neerlandeses tienen que adivinar lo que significa.
A veces el español es tan rápido que no se puede seguir. Y cuando es más lento, crees que lo entiendes, pero la grabación sigue y sigue — sin final, sin pitido, sin “deja tu mensaje” ni “llama a este número”.

En resumen, es simplemente inútil.
Y ahora mi cita de las ocho y cuarto — que estaba correctamente programada — ha caducado.
Esta noche tengo que volver al médico para concertar una nueva cita.
Y probablemente, todo el circo volverá a empezar otra vez.
Un sistema inútil.

I was admitted via ambulance last month. The doctor did not tell me he was sending me to a private hospital. As soon as I got out the ambulance, there was a translator standing over me like the grim reapor with a car machine in his hand. This hospital does not accept the European card. As soon as I find out I was being admitted, he changed the amount I was paying from 500 euro to 3000. Standing all the time with a card machine while the nurses were putting an IV into my arm. I was told that as soon as insurance company made contact, the money would be refunded to me.. LIES!!!!!! This hospital has not responded to my insurance company, nor have they responded to me . They have taken my money to pay for a hospital bill that no one has even seen.
This place is purely a business and nothing else !!!

Atención telefónica lamentable, personal descortés y mal educado
