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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.
