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 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

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 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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
