Strictly speaking, none.

Mercury and Venus have none.

Earth, one.

Mars, two.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have more than four.

Jupiter has 63 known moons, Saturn has at least 60.

Uranus has 27, and Neptune 13.

The vast majority of these moons are puny - 300 km across and smaller. Saturn only has 1 large moon, Titan, which is also the only known moon with a substantial atmosphere.

Jupiter has 4 large moons (and perhaps this is the source of your question). These range from Ganymede (larger than Mercury), Callisto (almost as big), Io (a little bigger than our Moon), and Europa (a little smaller than our moon). After our Moon, nothing else in our solar system even compares.

Which planet in solar system has lots of moons?

The planet Jupiter, which is the largest planet in the solar system, also has the most moons (which is logical, because the large size of Jupiter means that it also has the strongest gravitational field, and can therefore attract satellites more strongly). All of the four gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have lots of satellites. The inner planets have fewer satellites.
