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.

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.

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.

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.

We have not stayed in other Riads so have no comparison, but this truly was a wonderful few days for us. Really felt like we received a personal service...

We have not stayed in other Riads so have no comparison, but this truly was a wonderful few days for us. Really felt like we received a personal service as houseguests in a beautiful location. Riad staff invited us to ‘just ask’ if we needed assistance with anything and they literally helped with everything we needed. As a comparison we stayed at the St Regis in Istanbul this time last last year and that 5* place was actually less accommodating than this Riad!!Food service in the evening requires 24hr notice, but don’t miss out. Best food we have eaten in Marrakech. Best value in Morocco to be honest. Staff are 100% fluent in English, French, Arabic and SpanishI don’t often leave five star reviews, but this certainly deserves it!!

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.
