Absolutely wonderful, even better than the reviews say. Youssef and his staff were so welcoming and took the best care of us in every way, day and night. The personalized breakfasts were elegant and more than sufficient. Visually so beautiful and calming. As for the practical stuff, beds and pillows were perfect; excellent in room a/c, few outlets but sufficient if you a bring multi-power cord; no TV but honestly it was a better without one; plenty of hot water but plan to shower before midnight bc the hot water goes out; it's a 2 minute walk from the street, Jamal and Youssef helped us with our bags; airport pickup was perfect, Jamal the driver was wonderful; 2 min walk to the mosque (for those who pray), but the call to pray is not audible (probably a good thing for those who don't). I could go on and on, only good things. Thank you for a most memorable stay. And thank you for the wonderful surprise anniversary cake, compliments to the chef as well!

Lovely Riad, we were made very welcome by the family who owned this place. Youssef was always on hand with help and information. The breakfasts were filling, fresh and tasty. We had dinner one night and it was THE BEST Tagine in Marrakech. Our room was spotless and cleaned daily. It’s a small place so don’t expect a big modern hotel but it gives you a real taste of life in this city. Would highly recommend.

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

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.

This is the perfect place to start off your Marrakesh visit. It's in the Berima neighborhood, close enough to walk everywhere but calmer than staying right near the square. The riad is beautiful, breakfast was delishious and will keep you full way part lunch. But having such gracious and kind hosts really makes this place special. You get an orientation to the city, the culture, how to handle those that may try to hassle you, even how to cross the street! Super reassuring, as the city is a bit of a culture shock, though absolutely magical place.

Stayed at Riad Al Badia between 14th/19th Jan 2020. As with a lot of the previous reviews I can only commend Laurent the manager. No one could be more...

Stayed at Riad Al Badia between 14th/19th Jan 2020. As with a lot of the previous reviews I can only commend Laurent the manager. No one could be more attentive and informative than this gentleman, an absolute prince amongst men.The Riad itself was lovely and relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of places like Djemma al Fnaa. All the staff were excellent,seemingly appearing from nowhere when you needed anything . Laurent gave us a very engrossing and humorous rundown on everything to do in Marrakesh including how to avoid the pitfalls that some tourists fall into.Everyone of our group of 6 have said that if we return to Marrakesh we will definitely be staying at Riad Al Badia.

We stayed at the Riad Al Badia last October and were not disappointed. This beautiful Riad run by Laurent and his team exceeded all our expectations from arrival. It is the most stunning place set in the quiet back streets of Marrakech. The first evening we opted to eat a meal there and it was one of the finest eating experiences we have ever had. All the staff are very kind and attentive and Laurent a font of local knowledge and we could feel his enthusiasm for the country and the city. He spent a lot of time helping us with places to visit and eat and even took us to the taxi car when we left. Our room was quiet and cleaned every day and had all the amenities of a 4 star hotel but with a lot more personal touches. We arrived as strangers and felt we left as friends and family. We can't thank you all enough and would highly recommend the Riad Al Badia to anyone who wants to visit Marrackeh. Well done to you all
