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.

Great little place - like most riads it's just off the main road but their driver will help you with bags etc. Staff were all super friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was different each day which was nice. Lovely pool for a hot day and a roof terrace with great views.

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 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...

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!!

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)

The Riad is the best decision we took while looking for accommodation. I am so pleased to have gone away from the chain hotels. If you like to immerse in local culture while you are on holiday, this is the place to be. It is near the centre(15 minutes stroll if you dont stop anywhere - usually took us 30 minutes since there are so many interesting things to see. You will not imagine what is beyond the front door of the Riad when you walk down an alleyway ( we never felt unsafe, and we returned late mist nights). It is like an oasis in the desert. Hospitality lessons should start here. From a welcoming mint tea, the first dinner, airport transfers, arrangement of trips, general advice, mint tea whenever you want....the lost is endless. Nothing was too difficult for Laurent. If you want to visit Marrakech, stay at this Riad, otherwise your trip will be incomplete.

Before selecting to stay at Riad Al Badia, we also looked at other Riad's in Marrakech which were slightly cheaper although due to the glowing reviews, we made the decision to spend a little extra and book here.It absolutely did not disappoint, whilst the Riad itself is beautiful, Laurent and his staff were incredible throughout our stay, continually going above and beyond for us.On arrival, Laurent sat with us for 15-20 minutes, giving us a great overview of the local area, places he recommended that we visit and what to expect in and around Marrakech. This made us instantly feel at home.When we were looking to arrange a quad biking experience in the area, we needed to borrow a phone to book in advance and arrange pickup. When we asked at the Riad to borrow a phone to make a call, Laurent himself called on our behalf and made sure that the driver knew the best location to collect us.Prior to our final day, we asked about when check-out time at the property was and if we would be able to leave our luggage as we had an evening flight out of Marrakech. Instead, we were allowed to keep the room until our departure so that we had additional time to pack and shower before leaving. Overall, I do not think we could have had a better experience by staying anywhere else in Marrakech and I would love to return one day.

I stayed at Riad al Badia in February 2020 with my mother and it honestly is one of the best places I've ever stayed at. Laurent is extremely hospitable and helpful - always made sure our stay was perfect. Also the cleaning staff was very sweet, always smiling. We felt very welcome there. We had one dinner at the Riad and it was SO delicious! I am vegan and it was not a problem.The riad is in a quieter part of the city, but everything is within walking distance.
