We loved our stay here. Our room was simple but large and clean with a lovely terrace/garden area overlooking the sea. Felix was incredibly helpful with all of our requests and each night sent us to a different restaurant for absolutely delicious dinners. All we had to do was let him know what time we wanted to eat and he organized the place and free shuttles to take us there and back. Anna was delightful as was Seco. On our first day here Anna made a last minute lunch for us: a fish dish that was fresh and delicious, accompanied by a simple and yummy salad. The beach access is fantastic. It is definitely a good walk down and up but well worth it. The location of the hotel is ideal-easy walk into town but so nice to be away from the crowds. I’m not sure why people give this place negative reviews. I was nervous about what we would find after reading what others had to say. Fortunately I listened to the good reviews and am really happy we chose this as our base in the Amalfi Coast. It’s a perfect, simple, clean, easy, charming spot with stunning views and a staff that made our stay in Positano really memorable and special. If you are looking for good value, great staff, stunning views, beach access, a great location that offers a bit of quiet and a memorable stay in Positano then this is your place!

Great food, great views and Felix and Ana were great to deal with and made our stay really enjoyable. If you need to dine at a great restaurant outside the hotel they will set up a shuttle to take you. Highly recommend!

Seven of us from Canada thought this B and B was fantastic, amazing view, the grounds are well groomed.
Our hosts Ana and Felix were so awesome, friendly, provided great service and very helpful. There were lots of great options for breakfast. The rooms were great, they have a mini bars, a nice little sitting area in front of the rooms that provided a beautiful view of the ocean, also, a sitting area where you can buy drinks at their bar. It was just a short walk into the main area where there was lots of shopping and restaurants. I would highly recommend this B and B for your next vacation stay.

This place is a disappointment from the recommendation of a taxi driver to the paper thin walls and EVERYTHING in between. 1. Taxi driver Fabio drove like his hair was on fire passing people on two wheels, grunting and cussing in Italian while he talked about us in Italian to his girlfriend- not knowing we know Italian. When we arrived he refused to take our CC even though I asked before we booked him. When we arrived he asked for a tip over and over. A real piece of work. So NO FABIO. 2. We carried our bags down the stairs and 5 stairs from the bottom they stopped us and said “our boy” will get that- we were confused, but realized on check out they charge $5 per bag to bring them down the stairs. They charge for everything. The only thing they don’t charge for is the crap breakfast. Stale bread, grocery store muffins and good ole Felix, the gruff and rude, fast talking owner. 3. Location. It sucks. It’s quiet because it’s literally far away from Positano on a VERY dangerous road with no sidewalk. Felix will tell you it’s no big deal, but it is. If you want to eat at a normal time you need a $30 taxi back to the room. The street at night is a death trap. 4. The beach. Don’t bother. It’s a small lagoon beach with exorbitant prices. The beach is dirty and nothing at all like the beaches in other parts. Go to posit proper to swim. 5. Summary. Don’t book this hotel. Spend the extra money and book in Positano or closer to town. 1000 stairs would be better than this!!

What a beautifull place to stay!!, a lovely room with terras and seavieuw, a private beach and a beautiful terrasgarden where one can have a lovely breakfast, lunch or diner, which you can order at the last moment, no problem, they even prepared a snack for my hungry son late in the evening. But above all the staf; Felix and the others really did all their best to provide us a super pleasant stay and we had real fun together, thank you for everything!!, your smile, you warm welcome and a big bag of oranges and lemons which were given to us when we left. Really can recommend this beautiful place and the people, I for sure hope to return here someday! Greetings Teun and Clair

Booked through Expedia on free cancellation basis. Forced to cancel but hotel took €50 from my account and still haven't refunded after nearly 4 weeks. Only contactable by telephone. Be very cautious with this property and your bank details. If a refund is received I will delete this post.

Great value for money, lovely breakfast area and the proximity to the beach is a great plus. Also very nice views of the Mediterranean. The serenity of this place is appreciated especially if you are in Positano during peak season.

The most positive thing I can say about La Maliosa is that it has truly beautiful views. It is about a 20 minute walk outside of Positano and is a good value for the town. The owner did make several good restaurant recommendations for me. Breakfast is simple but I thought it was good. The cappucinos are delicious.
On the not so positive side, the owner did not behave professionally towards me. He was at first friendly, but began asking me a lot of personal questions about myself and why I was there alone. He then texted me some personal messages and was unprofessional towards me. I want to make sure that my review is posted which is why I am not giving a lot of detail, but to describe his behavior as unprofessional is actually putting it mildly. By the end of my stay I felt very uncomfortable as a solo female traveler there and wished I had stayed elsewhere. I would be happy to discuss my experience in more detail via private messaging.
Mattresses are thin and Wi-Fi service very spotty. Also, I could hear neighbors on all sides at all times. I would choose to stay elsewhere next time.

We booked a room three weeks ago for tonight and arrived at 3:30 to check in. No one was at the reception desk, and when a woman tending the garden went to search for the manager, he was asleep on a couch and screamed at her for a full three minutes when she awakened him. Embarrassed, she closed the door so we would not hear what he was saying. Another woman arrived to try to take care of the problem, whatever it was, and the manager began to abusively scream at her as well. In broken English both women apologized to me (for what, I am not sure, since at that point it was they who were victims of his abuse). Finally the manager came out and began yelling at me at the top of his lungs although I was completely unclear what the problem was. He declined to honor our reservation and followed us to the top of his stairway yelling abusively the entire time. In the midst of the torrent he said something in broken English to the effect of “You are not the problem; my problem has been with others today” before throwing my torn reservation confirmation at my feet. Completely shaken, we left the premises but had to wait quite a while at the gate before he would unlock it from his office and allow us to leave. It is very possible he was drunk, and the two women who assisted us were entirely helpful and apologetic. Nevertheless, we left without a room although our booking through booking.com had been confirmed. In an age when businesses depend on word of mouth, we found the manager’s behavior inexcusable and abusive. If he is capable of this kind of behavior once it is likely it will occur again.

Very creepy owner. I found the owner to be completely unprofessional in demeanour; he had no concept of professional boundaries. He was incredibly inappropriate with me despite me clearly communicating that I was not at all interested in his advances. If you're female and travelling alone I would advise against this property.
