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!

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 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

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 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.

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.
