Our stay at Riad Al Badia was absolutely perfect! Laurent and his helpers are just adorable. They picked us up at the airport and gave us all the tips and tricks for a successful stay in in Marrakesh over a cup of mint tea upon arrival. Every morning we were met with a big smile and a lovely traditional breakfast (different sorts of fruits and pastries every day), then we were followed to the door by Laurent himself showing us directions. Always clean, quite and warm in opposition to the chilly winter nights of Médina. At the rooftop you can enjoy the warm sun in a quite atmosphere in the daytime, before walking out to the chaos of the city. Highly recommended!

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

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.

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.

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.

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
