Clove Villa

Amazing staff and accommodation. Best place we stay in Sri Lanka and best services. The chef and his helper were really really great, 1 st class servicea

Everything perfect

Exceptional boutique hotel, an oasis of calm in hectic Kandy. We felt welcome from the minute we arrived, greeted by Danushka with cool towels and freshly squeezed juice in the beautifully appointed marble reception area by incredibly attentive and helpful staff. Our room was spacious and elegant with a luxurious bathroom including a shower with great water pressure and plenty of hot water (a first for us in Sri Lanka!). The food was wonderful; Umesh the chef spent time talking to us about what we would like and created an amazing meal, especially the aubergine curry made to his grandmother's recipe and the jackfruit curry made with fresh jackfruit from the tree in the garden. The outside area is lovely, with very comfortable sunbeds and many different birds (and frogs!). Overall, we felt thoroughly spoiled throughout our stay; the service felt very personal and nothing was too much trouble. The manager whose name I didn't catch was also lovely, so helpful and wanting to do anything she could to ensure we had the best possible stay.

Nothing

Excellent hotel located in 15 min ride via tuk-tuk from centre of Kandy. First impression - great looking hotel with kind service from the personal. Location not in the very centre is an advantage, due to the fact that around the Kandy lake its way to lound and crowdy. Very juicy breakfasts and delicious local cousine dinners, piasibility to take meala on a lovely terrace Billiard available for guests

On booking com its indicated that you get a 300 sqm area and you expect that you are booking a flor in a villa. Practically you book a 25-30 sqm room with possibility to use shared area in the villa of around 300 sqm

The photos and the reviews do not do the location justice. The staff is making everything much better. We ate there twice in our 2 nights stay and the chef made things that were not in the menu at our request as we were lucky enough to be the only visitors then. It was probably the best food we had in Sri Lanka. They villa is very well mantained and the entire staff works very hard to make your stay perfect. The city was not a hit for us, so we spent most of the time at the location and we loved it.

Lovely Property with tasteful furniture and attention to detail. Loved our room and everything about the property

The whole crew was awesome (chef and two assistents/waiters)! They made our stay very special! Thank you for everything! Rooms are super clean and food is delicious.

We had two uncomfortable situations with the manager. After asking for a taxi to Sigiriya she tried to give us very overpriced driver. But worse, during the check out she tried to charge us a new (higher) price, not the one confirmed by booking.com. After quite some discussions we only paid the booking.com price. Her behaviour does not do this special hotel and lovely team justice.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Clove Villa for 2 nights. The villa is located a little bit north of the city center, but therefore quite remote and well connected by quickly organized tuk-tuk or cab rides. The villa itself is very charming, cozy and clean and the staff is super attentive and welcoming. Upon arrival we were served fresh welcome drinks and in the evening Umeish - the chef of the house - prepared incredible tapas style variations of curries. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying and dining here.

Very friendly people and a 5 star service. The decor is very nice and cozy. Nice room, big and very clean. On recommendation of the chef we choose the Sri Lankan meal (it was a festive meal he said). It was big and very very good. The whole table was filled with little dishes. Beautiful.

The breakfast was a bit overpriced. 30 dollar for 2 persons; it was tasteful but quite simple (fruit, juice, coffee, toast and egg).

A very nice comfortable hotel in a quiet area not far from the city centre. Excellent, friendly staff who looked after and anticipated your every need. We had one delicious dinner there. The best Sri Lankan vegetable curry so far - and the aubergine curry was so good that I asked for the recipe. Breakfast very good too.

Light switches a bit confusing. I finally worked out where they were but it took a while. The plugs could also have been more accessible.

Clove Villa is situated just outside of Kandy's city centre! It's so picturesque inside. The decor and facilities are superb. We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was beautifully decorated and very clean. We didn't have breakfast or dinner at the hotel because we wanted to try places outside but you can purchase breakfast or dinner here. There's also a cute pool outside!
