Exceptional for a hospital
Top 1%
better than ~99% of hospitals
A hospital's stars run far lower than shops or restaurants — reviews are written amid illness, big bills and stress, and unhappy patients review the most. The average hospital scores just 2.85★ on Google, so This hospital's 4.4★ sits near the top of the range.
Rating is Google's, shown as reported (2,700 reviews). The "top %" is an estimate from peer-reviewed hospital-rating studies (Canadian nationwide 2018–19, n=167, mean 2.85★; US hospitals, median 3.0★) — we score against the hospital distribution, not the naive 0–5 scale.
Patients rate Gleneagles Hospital Penang 4.4★ across 2,700 Google reviews — exceptional for a hospital, better than roughly 99% of hospitals on our worldwide rating benchmark.
