Incorrect time appearence

Hello, I have A strange probleem With the time on my iPhone and apple Watch. I am currently on vacation in Tenerife where the time is 1 h different from my home. The strange thing is that the time switches to the time here when I leave the hotel, but when I arrive back at the hotel it switches back to the wrong time from my home. Have tried to restart, reconnect … none works. Even changing the time manually does not work four some reason. I can’t do that due to device restrictions.

Very strange, would be happy if someone can help. It is very annoying😅.

Then it's probably the cell tower. Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings.

I’ve seen this problem in the Canary Islands before. Your hotel’s Wi-Fi probably comes by cable from Spain, so the time it displays is the time in Spain when you are connected to Wi-Fi. When you are out of the hotel your phone gets its time from the cellular network, which has the correct time.

it could be the cell tower near the hotel.
Go to settings>privacy & security>location services>system services>turn on anything to do with location and time

Nope, it jumps back to the wrong time afterwords😥. If you know something else to try, I would like to know, otherwise no problem. It’s not a big deal, just annoying. Anyways thanks very much for your help!
