We stayed here last October, hospitality second to none. We had an evening meal which was delicious. My partner had been here in the spring with some friends and so fell in love with the Riad Al Badia that she immediately booked a weekend for me and her. Laurent is a wonderful host, charming. He told us where to go, how to get there and how to miss the crowds - we are in fashion so it was important for us to see the YSL museum - he organised it so well with horse and carriage that we missed the crowds and truly enjoyed the museum. There is nothing bad I can say - it was a marvelloius experience and one which I will hope to reapeat in the coming year. So if you´re going to Marrakech - give Laurent a call, you couldn´t do better for an authentic experience.

Why waste your time looking over hotels.com, booking.com, google reviews, and TripAdvisor like I did, trying to find the "perfect" hotel for your stay in Marrakech? Look no further, Riad Al Badia is the place to book, please trust me and you will not be disappointed! Danielle (my partner) and I stayed at Riad Al Badia 14th - 17th April and I can honestly say it was one of the best hotels and experiences I have had. We were picked up from the airport and walked to our Riad by the driver. We were greeted at the door by Youssef, Asma and team, where they gave us fresh mint tea, and explained the do and dont's of the city as well as went through a map of the city. Youssef went one step further on our first night and walked us to the main square so we didn't get lost.The Riad was very clean, and made us feel at home. It smelt amazing and was so peaceful, exactly what you need when out in the souks all day. The bedroom was always cleaned and breakfast was amazing, 10/10. We also had dinner at the Riad which was so fresh, tasty and impeccable service. Nothing was too little or too small for the team. If we had an issue, they resolved it. If we had a question, they resolved it. If we didn't have a smile on our face, they resolved it. Such great people and honestly they are all a credit to this Riad. If it was not for the people delivering such a great service, our experience would not have been the same.We wish Riad Al Badia and the staff all the best, and really hope to meet you all again when we come back to stay in Marrakesh. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please after reading this review, you need to book this place. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed and your trip will be that more special after staying here.All the best,Liam

Riad al Badia was a wonderful oasis in the busy, crazy and chill heart of Marrakech. Our charming host Laurent gave us many interesting tips to enjoy and savour the daily play in the Medina. The near and quiet Atlas mountains offered a beautiful contrast with the melting pot of Marrakech

I have been traveling for business and leasure all the time and been to many countries in my life. But my experience with Laurent and Riad Al Badia is exceptional. This charming Riad is situated in an ideal location, not in the crowded tourist area but walking distance to major point of interest. The service is great and the breakfast is delicious. After we checked in, Laurent gave us a very detailed orientation of Marrakech, he walked us through all the major places with drawing on the map, but most important of all, he prep us with a culture introduction of Morocco. The conversation with him gave us a while new aspects of Morocco and the people. I am very glad to have this conversation with Laurent, it brings our entire Morocco trip to a different lever. I will strongly recommend Riad Al Badia if you visit Marrakech.

We stayed at the Riadh Al Badia one night, and we will never forget it as long as we live. From the first step into the special door in the wall, where we got the warmest welcome we have ever received . ( and we have stayed in m a n y nice hotels) We experienced a tea ceremony and got informative stories about the Riyad and about Marrakech. The room we stayed in was beautiful , yet simple decorated in authentic marroccan style. The food we had was delicious, fresh and authentic marroccan . And the scenery were we ate was beyone everything we have e v e r experienced. We cant wait to come back.

We have had the most amazing holiday in Marrakech. I haven't been to Marrakech before and wasn't sure what to expect. Upon arrival at Riad Al Badia we were welcomed by Laurent who explained the culture and geography of Marrakech. This welcome talk truly helped me to relax into the Marrakech way of life and to appreciate and enjoy all that we saw, particularly when we were in and around Jemaa el Fnaa, Marrakech is a very vibrant city but the moment we stepped through the door into our riad it was like stepping into another world, one of peace and tranquility. A real oasis in this wonderful city. The riad is stunning and even now when I think of it I am transported to that feeling of peace and callm. Laurent and all of his staff are incredible. They are there to ensure that your stay is as perfect as possible. The breakfasts were amazing, they kept us full all day long. We tended to get back to the riad around 4pm after a day of exploring, we spent time sitting with our feet in the pool, we spent afternoons and evenings on the top terrace. It was perfect. We ate in the riad on one occasion, it was beautiful. The food was delicious, the ambience deeply relaxing. I just loved it and definitely recommend it,Sometimes it is hard to find the words to explain a place, but for me the fact that I can still recreate that feeling of deep relaxation (having been back at work and in the midst of every day life) just by visualising myself being back speaks volumes.Thank you Laurent. You are the perfect host, and I thank you so much for giving me such a beautiful place to call home for a week.
