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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
