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

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!

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.

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!!

Absolutely wonderful, even better than the reviews say. Youssef and his staff were so welcoming and took the best care of us in every way, day and night....

Absolutely wonderful, even better than the reviews say. Youssef and his staff were so welcoming and took the best care of us in every way, day and night. The personalized breakfasts were elegant and more than sufficient. Visually so beautiful and calming. As for the practical stuff, beds and pillows were perfect; excellent in room a/c, few outlets but sufficient if you a bring multi-power cord; no TV but honestly it was a better without one; plenty of hot water but plan to shower before midnight bc the hot water goes out; it's a 2 minute walk from the street, Jamal and Youssef helped us with our bags; airport pickup was perfect, Jamal the driver was wonderful; 2 min walk to the mosque (for those who pray), but the call to pray is not audible (probably a good thing for those who don't). I could go on and on, only good things. Thank you for a most memorable stay. And thank you for the wonderful surprise anniversary cake, compliments to the chef as well!

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)

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.
