Enjoyed our two nights stay here and impressed with the upscale internal furnishings. Dinner was good both nights. Freshly made soups and a terrific rice and curry. Charly was very welcoming. The property is out of the centre so need transport or order a tuk tuk. Not sure Kandy merited a two night stay despite how nice Clove Villa was. Enjoyed the nearby Botanical Gardens more than the holy tooth temple and the town centre was less impressive than expected given it qualified as a UNESCO heritage site.

Beautiful villa, lovely room and great breakfast with a good host. A little out of town but only a short Tuk tuk ride away.

This property was stunning, food delicious, staff incredibly kind and helpful. A nice refuge from the bustle of Kandy

* Like: -- Location: In suburb of Kandy so it’s inside the city. -- Room: This is a hotel modified from a villa so no many rooms. Lobby, garden are well decorated. Our room is OK for two people. -- Staff: Friendly and respond quickly to our demands. -- Pool: A small pool is available. -- Breakfast: Good. * Dislike: -- The room make us feel like going into someone’s bedroom. It’s simple and practical. -- Road outside is a little bit narrow and winding.

Beautiful place decorated with style and elegance. The bed and pillows were so comfortable and the shower hot a day strong. It was so quiet at night. The meals were restaurant quality and could be ordered directly with the chef. Attractions and shopping were 10 minutes away from the noise a day crowds. It was lovely place to stay and we wished we could have stayed longer

Been to Sri Lanka 4 times, stayed in around a dozen hotels and without doubt this was the best from every point of view, irrespective of price. The room we had was huge, a marble bathroom and really big walk-in shower. Extra king-size bed and white, crisp expensive bed linen and pillows. It's in a residential area so it is quiet and peaceful but not far from city centre. Although we had a rented car - we drove 1500 kilometres in a week to the far South-west and back to Colombo - they booked us a Tuk-Tuk and for 3 hours it cost us £7.50, plus a very goodly tip. The best shrimp tempura for dinner I have ever eaten and a very tender filet steak, wine and pud around £35 for two, served on the premises. Best of all was Charlie, who did everything from holding the umbrella over our heads in the rain upon arrival, to serving dinner, mixing the cocktails and making us laugh. We christened him Charlie Brown for some unknown reason and he loved it. He was the salt of the Sri Lankan earth.

Stunning service and food in an elegant boutique hotel. Charlie the manager is delightful and couldn’t do enough to help us. Best hotel of our Sri Lanka trip!

The room is big and comfortable, but be careful because when you check out they charge you for services that you suppose are free!

We settled on Clove Villa based on their ranking. Wrong! We booked a deluxe room with a garden view. When we arrived we were greeted with a drink for ourselves and our driver. We were immediately pestered about what time we would eat and if we were eating at the hotel. We are on honeymoon and like spontaneity. After being shown the room (Green Haven) we were disappointed by the size and darkness. We complained and were told we could move tomorrow morning but nothing could be done now. The owner indicated Expedia did not send the room type which was a lie because I emailed the property directly forwarding the reservation. We decided to try and make the most of it and freshened up and departed to see Kandy. Upon return we retreated to our room and went to use the bathroom and the stench was unbearable. We had not used it except to shower! This was a different smell as if something died in the wall. We were up all night waiting for management in the morning. Due to the lack of English skills we were first told she was arriving later only to be told later she was not coming. We were finally moved at 9am (to Raspberry Dream a nicer room) in time for us to depart for our day. They offered us a cake as a thank you. After the disgusting breakfast eggs I wanted to eat nothing from them. While the staff was kind and tried, I would not recommend this hotel especially for romance. Its a budget hotel quality with a mid range price for Sri Lanka.

We had a super time at the Clove Villa. It is a very tasteful place. Our room was huge and very comfortable, as was the bathroom. A special mention must go to Charlie who went out of his way to accommodate us. Thank you Charlie.

The hotel is beautiful and elegant, with an indoor pond to welcome you and create a soothing atmosphere in the main area. There is a nice pool garden with lounge chairs and flowers, a small restaurant and a reading area. The rooms are spacious and elegant, with all the necessary amnesities. The staff is truly wonderful! They greet you and provide you with cold towels and juice when you arrive. Throughout your stay, they will assist you with your planning and help arrange transport or give tips for things to see in Kandy. We will come back for sure!

Beautiful boutique hotel, with amazing service. Charlie was a great host. The food we ate in the hotel was one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka. Loved this professionally run boutique hotel.

staff is nice and very responsible. but the room is a bit too simple with such a price and no WiFi in room.

Overall a good property, on the outskirts of Kandy. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast could be improved, requires a better range of Sri Lankan/Continental options. Evening meal of Sri Lankan rice and curry was probably the best of our trip and I would highly recommend this to anyone that visits Clove Villa.
