A disappointing second stay
We had stayed here before for a couple of nights in 2014 and liked everything except the fact that the airport transfer was botched and left us waiting for over an hour and required several phone calls to finally be sorted out. Nevertheless, the beautiful interior, the comfortable rooms, the warm welcome, the great location and the excellent breakfast had left very positive memories. Our stay second stay also started with botched airport transfer. Again, it took several calls and significant waiting time until the hotel's driver finally arrived. On the following day we understood that our transfer booking had been lost, even though this had been made in writing via the Expedia messaging service. Our formal check-in with the owner of the Riad was delayed by 14 hours, right until the moment when we wanted to start our sightseeing tour through Marrakech. There was also a conflict between the information provided by my travel agency and the Riad regarding the payment status for this reservation, which left me wondering whether I would end up paying twice. Our expression of mild dissatisfaction about these issues -- in the form of submitting only two out of three smiling faces in the Expedia check-in review system -- was met by an aggressive email response from the owner of the Riad, which struck us as extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. We would recommend against staying here, given the multitude of other excellent riads in Marrakech.

Nice Riad ... not honest management
It was a very nice, well kept Riad with 5 rooms in excellent location. The best room was spacious and nicely decorated although needed more lighting especially in the bathroom. Wifi was good. Breakfast was simple but well taken cared of by the wonderful staffs. We booked the best room for 3 nights but found out the first night that it was offered to other guests (after the manager checked our voucher for room info and forgot to check the other guests voucher). We met the owner first day (a Frenchmen) but he only speaks to the manager. After much apology by the manager while unable to correct the error, we requested to receive a discount in exchange for dining at its location. The manager graciously accepted (since the room is less quality than what we had paid for). For $50 value with two entrees, the quality is shockingly bad. The calamari Tagine has one small squid and rice without much taste while the sardine Tagine (very cheap fish here) is very bland. We continue our stay exploring Marrakech. When we checked out the final bill was calculated in such a way that ended up higher than we would have paid full price through online (in Euros) and full price meal. They said they only accept Moroccan Dirham and through riad's lower exchange rate. The manager tried to convince us that he offered some discount from the total amount (but it was still higher than what we would have paid online through hotels.com). Well what can I say? We can't really recommend this place.

The riad was pretty. The staff was very nice and helpful. I wasn't crazy about the location, but it was still close enough (about a 20 minute walk) to the main square. Good value for the money.

Excellent Moroccan experience
Enjoyed sitting in the courtyard and having breakfast on the roof-top terrace. Exceptional staff, so helpful, they all went above and beyond, can't praise them highly enough! Abdeliz organised a brilliant private tour to the Atlas Mountains for us, including Berber villages, camel ride and trek to Setti Fatma waterfalls, for a very good price - much cheaper than booking online! On our arrival Abdeliz provided maps and info on seeing the sights, good restaurants etc. Mohamed looked after us very well. He is the nicest, kindest, most helpful person - an asset to the Riad Bamaga! The staff made our holiday in Marrakech much more enjoyable because of their knowledge and helpfulness. I would highly recommend this riad for a perfect Moroccan experience.

We were there on a family trip. Very good riad, excellent location in the center close to all atracktions. We arrived at 1am and they waited for us next to the parking to escort s to riad. From that moment the staff wentbout of his way to make our time there great.

Nice place but there are better options
Great little place and immaculate. Most of the staff was lovely, friendly and helpful, but Aziz kept insisting that checkout was at 9:30am (which was especially silly since there was no one there to even clean the room at that time). And I had to show on the website that checkout was, in fact, at 11am at which point he finally agreed to allow me to stay in the room until that time. Also, the wifi is TERRIBLY slow even in public areas and nonexistent in the room. Breakfast was minimal...bread, butter and jam...not even the little triangle of cheese most places give you. For the price you can do better

Beautifully authentic Riad Bamaga.
Lovely place to stay near and yet away from the madness of Marrakesh. This little oasis of quite peacefulness lets you recharge your batteries to face another day at the souks :). A very hospitable and friendly staff helpful at every turn. Especially enjoyed the mint tea at the sunny rooftop garden listening to the birds. Aziz arranged a 2 day trip into the desert , what an amazing adventure with stunning mountain views and stops along the way. The camel ride to the tents for the overnight stay I will not soon forget. Without doubt I'd stay at the Riad Bamaga again on my next visit to Marrakesh. This Riad is highly recommended if you like an authentic , exotic , quite and a peaceful place. You'll come as a guest and leave as a friend. ---- Make sure to include the taxi ride from the airport arranged by Aziz to avoid being extorted by initially friendly guys willing to walk you to your hotel and as you get there use intimidating tactics and exorbitant "fees" for their "service". Stay away from these street thugs and take a cab , it's a lot cheaper (Make sure to negotiate the price BEFORE getting in). (This is just a general note as a word of advice and happens no matter where you stay in Marrakesh).

Fantastic Riad
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. Lovely people, gorgeous room, super breakfast and great central location. Would recommend highly. Thank you to all the staff for their care and attention. The hand drawn map and detailed print out of directions were fantastic and the hints and advice given most appreciated and saved us from getting into any tricky situations :0). Would love to return again.

Sets a standard all hotels should follow
As soon as you book your room, Aziz (the hotel manager I think) will email you directions on how to get there-- I think this immediate step sets a tone for an extremely comfortable and accomodating stay. The Riad is SUPER nice and pretty and there are birds that fly in out of it as it is open through the middle. The rooms are very nice and big and the staff obviously loves tourists. The rest of my family was distraught at the location when we arrived there as you walk through a neighborhood street to get to the Riad, but as soon as they got over the shock it was fine (just keep in mind that this is considered the old part of the city and is the city center and that you are in neighborhood with many families). This is very close to the markets and other locations. Very nice stay, would definitely recommend-- my only critique is that the breakfast could definitely use a good number of more items, it was just bread when we stayed like a croissant and a literal peice of bread and some mint tea.

great, peaceful place to stay
We loved our stay at this riad. We got their August special and it was an excellent value for the money. Abdulaziz was responsive by email and arranged an airport transfer that kindly waited for us when we were delayed by hours. The rooms are spacious and charming. Plenty of hot water and pressure. One drawback was the room did not lock, but we felt plenty safe and put our valuables in the safe in the office. It is about a 15 minute walk to Djemma el Fna, so if you are not a walker, maybe it is not great for you, but for us we loved the walk and being a bit out of the fray while still in the medina. Breakfast on the roof and the nice bathrobes were a treat!

Beautiful Riad in the heart of the Medina
The hotel was a bit out of the way but easy walking distance to the markets. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and after travelling through Europe for a few weeks the Riad had by far the largest bathroom we had seen in a while. Breakfast in the morning was served on the rooftop terrace which was very nice and was very good, coffee, fresh pastry, bread, jams etc. We always felt very safe throughout Marrakech and enjoyed our time there very much.

Riad Bamaga - an excellent choice
Riad Bamaga is right in the heart of the Medina offering a true experience that cannot be found in the 'luxury' hotel sector. Despite the mayhem of the city, the Riad provides a calm and tranquil oasis at the end of the day and the rooftop terrace is a delightful place to unwind. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the furnishings authentic. We ate out most evenings, but our most enjoyable meal was at the Riad on the terrace, where we sat with a lovely little cat who shared our delicious meatballs. The staff cannot be recommended more highly.

Lovely Riad in a very good location.
Colette the owner is without doubt the best host I have ever had the opportunity to meet. Always helpful and always welcoming. I just wish everywhere I stayed had a 'Colette'! Simon also needs a mention as he was always extremely polite and helpful. Even made us a nice mint tea before we left. The Riad itself is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Good location although I imagine would be hard to find if you're an adventuring type and want to arrive by bus etc. If I ever return to Marrakech I will without doubt return to Riad Bamaga.

Beautiful little Riad right in the Medina. Owner was charming and very helpful. Loved our breakfasts on the roof every morning. So lovely and peaceful to come back to everyday after the madness of Marrakesh. Rooms were great, well styled and a good size. Internet annoyingly didnt reach the rooms, could only use it in communal area but wasn't a problem. Very highly recommend this Riad - well make your trip special!!!

Riad Bamaga - a delight
The riad was beautiful - very tastefully furnished and in a very quite part of the city. Yhe owners were lovely and very helpful and we had a wonderful stay here. I am a coeliac and they provided a great gluten free breakfast when I told them. The room was lovely and the beds very comfortable. I can't recommend this riad highly enough. You won't be disappointed.
