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.

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.

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.

We last stayed at Riad Al Badia eleven years ago, but it made such an impression that we vowed to return.We returned to Marrakech on a package deal with accommodation included, but we still wanted to visit Riad Al Badia. I arranged to have a meal at the Riad, as we remember their food being the best we'd tasted in Marrakech.Mr Olier helped with all of our arrangements and requests, which included an all vegan menu and transport back to our accommodation.When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Youssef, and seated in the courtyard while our dinner was prepared.We ate at a table for us next to the plunge pool, and the lighting was wonderful. And what a dinner! Eleven years later, and they're still the best flavours we've had anywhere in Marrakech, and what a joy to have an all vegan menu. The sweet tomato dish was a revelation.The highlight of our evening was a visit from Madame Bouchra who took such good care of us when we last stayed, and we were delighted to see her again and thank her in person again.Whether you want somewhere unique to stay or somewhere special to dine, the team at Riad Al Badia can deliver both extremely well, with professionalism and care.We do hope to return again as guests to stay, and I am extremely happy to recommend them.

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.

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.
