Our stay at Riad Al Badia was absolutely perfect! Laurent and his helpers are just adorable. They picked us up at the airport and gave us all the tips and tricks for a successful stay in in Marrakesh over a cup of mint tea upon arrival. Every morning we were met with a big smile and a lovely traditional breakfast (different sorts of fruits and pastries every day), then we were followed to the door by Laurent himself showing us directions. Always clean, quite and warm in opposition to the chilly winter nights of Médina. At the rooftop you can enjoy the warm sun in a quite atmosphere in the daytime, before walking out to the chaos of the city. Highly recommended!

A wonderful place to stay in Marrakesh, warm and friendly, informative hosts, lovely breakfast. Enjoyed dinner on our first evening. Good location only a short walk to Jemaa el fna and other attractions. Lovely room , very quiet and peaceful.

This was our first time in Marrakech so we arrived a bit anxious and very curious. From the minute we were greeted at the door of the riad owe relaxed and began four wonderful days of hospitality. Our room on the upper floor was quiet and cool, decorated but leaving room for us to settle us to settle in. Every evening we stretched out on loungers on the roof top terrace taking in the myriad of stars and the sounds of the neighborhood. The provided soaps and lotions were heavenly. We are still talking about the delicious dinner our first night. Staff at the riad were kind and accommodating, seeming to appear out of nowhere, especially at breakfast on the terrace. Wonderful stay and introduction to Marrakech. (Note: Actual stay July 2017)

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.

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.

We have not stayed in other Riads so have no comparison, but this truly was a wonderful few days for us. Really felt like we received a personal service as houseguests in a beautiful location. Riad staff invited us to ‘just ask’ if we needed assistance with anything and they literally helped with everything we needed. As a comparison we stayed at the St Regis in Istanbul this time last last year and that 5* place was actually less accommodating than this Riad!!Food service in the evening requires 24hr notice, but don’t miss out. Best food we have eaten in Marrakech. Best value in Morocco to be honest. Staff are 100% fluent in English, French, Arabic and SpanishI don’t often leave five star reviews, but this certainly deserves it!!

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.
