Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesNothing 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 StatesIt 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!

AustraliaIt was not an issue for us but the hotel is a short tricycle ride from the town/port. However, reception can always sort a cheap tricycle for you and you are close enough to town that the dive centres (well Reggae Dive Centre) still pick you up for no extra charge. We felt it was nicer being in the peaceful setting of the Funny Lion but some travelers may prefer to be more in the thick of it.
The Funny Lion has an excellent rating and for good reason. This is one of the most special places we have ever stayed. The staff were so friendly and helpful but without being overbearing. The facilities are beautiful and clean and never overcrowded due to several different pool options and there is an amazing roof top car/pools for sunset. They really go above and beyond, leaving fresh juices in the room and a night time sweet treat! We would 100% stay again and recommend you book early to avoid disappointment because this is where you want to stay in Coron!!

AustraliaA small boutique style hotel with exceptional staff and attention to detail. Complimentary cookies, drinks, bags etc are a nice touch. Happy Hour on the rooftop is the best place to be at the end of the day. Followed by a delicious dinner in the restaurant. The staff here are impeccably trained and go out of their way to accommodate you and make you feel like you are staying with family.

AustraliaWouldn't change a thing about this place.
We absolutely loved everything about our stay in The Funny Lion. The rooms were exceptional & they little touches they had every day were a special treat (like the cookies they left us after a full-day trip to the islands!). The pools are great and the buffet is well stocked. We loved the rooftop bar - we had sunset drinks here each night. We had a massage which was also very good.

United KingdomNothing! This was a superb hotel. Two practical bits of advice for the hotel and other travellers: 1) there are two pools, but one is kind of hidden. It would have been good to be told about this (we found it anyway) 2) they offer safe to drink water, I would advertise this more
Wonderful hotel. Made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. This felt like a 5 star hotel, not 4 stars. Great breakfast included and really luxurious touches like complimentary sweet treats in the afternoon.
