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.

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.

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.

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)

A wonderful place to stay in Marrakesh, warm and friendly, informative hosts, lovely breakfast. Enjoyed dinner on our first evening. Good location only a short walk to Jemaa el fna and other attractions. Lovely room , very quiet and peaceful.

Love, love, love this Riad and it's wonderful manager, Laurent! We had a room on the top floor-very romantic, quiet and clean and just what we needed. My husband and I have travelled extensively on this dear planet and have seen our fair share of highs and lows in terms of accommodation. This was a high. Laurent was so helpful and we appreciated his advice - it made our trip all the more enjoyable. And the meal....what can I say....divine! The ingredients are purchased fresh every morning and you can taste the difference! If you are staying at a different riad but would like to eat here, be sure to make a reservation either the day before or in the morning before the chef goes to the market. You can't go wrong with this riad.

We have had the most amazing holiday in Marrakech. I haven't been to Marrakech before and wasn't sure what to expect. Upon arrival at Riad Al Badia we were welcomed by Laurent who explained the culture and geography of Marrakech. This welcome talk truly helped me to relax into the Marrakech way of life and to appreciate and enjoy all that we saw, particularly when we were in and around Jemaa el Fnaa, Marrakech is a very vibrant city but the moment we stepped through the door into our riad it was like stepping into another world, one of peace and tranquility. A real oasis in this wonderful city. The riad is stunning and even now when I think of it I am transported to that feeling of peace and callm. Laurent and all of his staff are incredible. They are there to ensure that your stay is as perfect as possible. The breakfasts were amazing, they kept us full all day long. We tended to get back to the riad around 4pm after a day of exploring, we spent time sitting with our feet in the pool, we spent afternoons and evenings on the top terrace. It was perfect. We ate in the riad on one occasion, it was beautiful. The food was delicious, the ambience deeply relaxing. I just loved it and definitely recommend it,Sometimes it is hard to find the words to explain a place, but for me the fact that I can still recreate that feeling of deep relaxation (having been back at work and in the midst of every day life) just by visualising myself being back speaks volumes.Thank you Laurent. You are the perfect host, and I thank you so much for giving me such a beautiful place to call home for a week.

After spending hours reading website reviews, I booked the Coral Room at the Riad Al Badia, and I am so glad that I did. Before we even arrived, Laurent proved as responsive as reviewers said, by accommodating our request for a driver to pick us up from the airport, and also to take us to various sights within Marrakech two days later. The driver (Jamal) was waiting for us with a sign when we arrived, and when we got to the riad, Laurent gave us mint tea, some sweets, and an extremely helpful overview of Marrakech including things to do (and not to do) during our visit. The day after we arrived, we took a private tour of Marrakech. When we returned to the riad, we sat down with Laurent to plan where our driver, Jamal, should take us the following day. Laurent's suggestions were all on point and we had an absolutely marvelous time. Additionally, Jamal was always where he said he would be when he said he would be there, and we were very grateful to Laurent for arranging with him to be our driver. Our room, like the entire riad, was clean and nicely decorated. There was plenty of space, and an in-room safe for our belongings. I also appreciated the large bottle of water Laurent had in the room for us.Breakfast each morning was delicious and filling, and ready and waiting when we came downstairs. Laurent was kind enough to accommodate an early breakfast for us two mornings so that we could meet tour groups on time.Throughout our entire visit, Laurent and his staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. If we return to Marrakech, we will definitely stay at the Riad al Badia again.
