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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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,...

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.
