"Horrible service. Water stops working almost everyday in a hospital! The food is also disgusting and the rules are absurd."

"Wife and I had our oldest child here. Expenses out of pocket weren’t so bad, staff is somewhat lacking in knowledge. They couldn’t figure out the leg stirrups on the birthing bed, I had to put them up. Clean place, but don’t seem to have a great bedside. Very pushy on breastfeeding, I was not to thrilled with them. But one of the better options in Bogota."

"We had a good experience. Our baby was well taken care of and so were we. The nurses made us feel welcome and in safe hands."

"Both my daughters were born at the Reina Sofia, when it belonged to Colsanitas. One of them had several tests done there and the nurses were caring and very helpful. Extremely clean, and amazing service from nurses and clerks. I hope they keep up the good work."

"My wife had our first child there last Saturday night. Overall is great the staff, the nurse and especially the doctors in addition they all speak English which is a big plus for me. However, lack of WiFi in the hospital was kind of disappointing. The hospital is very clean and organized.🙏"
