Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The hotel exceeded our expectations, with lots of complimentary snacks and gifts from the beginning, two beautiful pools, a very classy room, a nice restaurant. We enjoyed our two night stay there, and even had a massage in the hotel spa. There's a nice sunset view from the rooftop bar. The breakfast buffet was good. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and helpful in booking us a transfer to the airport. We overall recommend staying at the Funny Lion in Coron !

SwitzerlandThoughts: -Our sons' room was OK, small 2 twin beds room, had a slight sewage smell. My boys didn't care and barely smelled anything, but I'm pretty sensitive to smells -We were not a fan of the toilet hose and not being able to flush toilet paper down the toilet, but I understand if this is an island issue -I would ask that the turndown staff to be aware of closing the door while doing turndown or during the delivery of snacks as it lets the mosquitos in
Travelled as a family of 4 with 2 young boys. We had our own room facing the back pool and the boys had their own room in the middle of the property. We were OK with this and the boys were happy to be separated from us. Thoughts: -We liked having two separate pools as my sons took over the back pool away from the couples traveling -The room by the back pool was spacious and quiet and very clean with a very comfortable bed -The rooftop pool was really cool with great drinks -The staff were super friendly and accommodating

Staff friendly and helpful. Clean spacious room. Good A/C. Nice pool area. Massage service was good. Tours we booked directly through reception were great. Easy tricycle ride to town.

Everything about this hotel was excellent from start to finish. The staff were incredible, they couldn't have been friendlier or done more for us! The food was delicious and there were so many little touches that made our stay so enjoyable (turndown service with cookies, ice lollies by the pool, massages etc.). Would highly recommend the funny lion to anyone!

AustraliaThe friendliest and most helpful staff. We stayed here to indulge after a rough 3 day boat trip and it did not disappoint. The Pride King room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room and linens were very clean. There were a lot of small details at this place that were really thoughtful. An evening turn down service with a sweet treat, cookies on check out day, treat by the pool. Rooftop bar with jacuzzi was great and also the barbecue buffet dinner. We let them know it was our honeymoon and they had a congratulations set up in the room on our arrival with a piece of (delicious) chocolate cake for us. We also had a great massage at the spa. Really can’t fault this place, thanks for a great stay!

United States of AmericaNothing to write. Amazing hotel.
My stay at The Funny Lion in Coron was absolutely delightful from start to finish. A few days before we arrived the crew messaged me on WhatsApp to confirm our arrival and also checked to see if we needed assistance with transportation from the airport, which clearly we did. From the moment we checked in, the cleanliness of the hotel was evident, making us feel comfortable and well cared for. We were pleasantly surprised to receive charming little gifts upon arriving in our room, a thoughtful touch that added to our experience. The daily refilled refreshments were a wonderful bonus, ensuring we were always hydrated and happy. What truly set The Funny Lion apart, however, was the incredible staff. Their hospitality was exceptional—always greeting us with a smile, eager to assist with anything we needed. The team's courteousness, kindness, and professionalism made our stay not just enjoyable, but truly memorable. It’s rare to encounter such consistent warmth and helpfulness. I highly recommend The Funny Lion to anyone visiting Coron for a heartwarming and relaxing experience.

United States of AmericaIt wasn’t walking distance to the city centre, but you can take a tuk tuk and it only takes about 5 mins to get there. Just be aware that after 11pm it’s harder to find one leaving the hotel.
The property was really nice and clean. The staff is some of the best I’ve ever seen! The sunset views from the roof top was breath taking!
