  Brian De Palma from China
  

  We met in the Russian bar during the winter games, with another English person who was the general manager of the new hotel; I have been told he is no longer with the resort. You may remember me, I am very tall with a beard and was with another large German friend.

  1000 Beds may be something to brag about, but through each of these reviews you make no reference to the bad facilities or the extremely bad way the resort is run in terms of service, management and the bad attitudes of your staff.

  Beidahu is not a 5 star resort as you claim, it is a ski lodge and that is all, building the other hotel to a better standard will do you no good if you can not look after it and raise your service levels.

  I will be back again for your winter fest, with my friend Stefan, however, we will not pay 988 rmb for your rooms like last year, when we can not get a decent meal for breakfast or dinner, and everything else closes at 9pm apart from the bar.

  We will stay in Jilin at a more customer friendly hotel, however, we would like to see you again, and maybe you can clarify to us exactly why you are not capable as a company to run a quality operation.

  Thank you.

  Brian. 30th November 2011.

  Ha Ha,
  1000 beds is ok.. but how many dirty and smelly rooms in the ski resort?? How many poor quality rooms in that new hotel?
  And still only 1 restaurant with same bad food? Things never get better at Beidahu ... only cover up mistakes.

  If you come to the site, you will find out the truth.
  Beidahu will offer 1000 beds this season instead of 400 last season.
  The national winter game will be held during 3-13 Jan 2012.
  More info, pls visit the website.

  Hello to all in Beidahe again.
  This site has become very interest to me.
  Last year I worked in the Russian bar at this resort for 3 months with the Russian show. I have been asked to work again this year.
  We stay at the Beidahe Hotel.
  The managers are very bad people and very big cheats. I get no salary for 2 months and also they don't pay the restaurant for more than this.
  I can not recommend this resort to be good but can understand the comments of other people. It is much better to stay somewhere else.

  Thank you for letting me submit my comment.

  Michea.

  Hello everyone.

  I just finished the work at this ski resort and can tell all that it is not true about Beidahu becoming a big resort.

  The owner has a lot of money problems and can not even finish the second building to a good standard. He is putting a lot of cheap furniture and also cutting cost on construction safeness.

  For all people who are planning to stay here I can also tell you that this hotel has NO Fire license of license to serve food or beverage.

  Be careful to stay here, it is very badly managed by OCT Hotel company of China.

  Thanks for the update Arthur.

  Is coming time again for the winterfest games in Beidahe, maybe this time is better to stay in Jilin city. At least we can find better things to do as everything close at the ski resort even the restaurant by 9pm.

  It is a big shame because it could be a good place if someone took care.

  Does anyone know what happened about the golf course? Was supposed to be built and other hotels. Last year many people told me Beidahu would be a big resort soon.

  Thanks.

  Andreas.

  Hello.
  This weekend we visit the Ski Resort for the upcoming ski games in January.

  This Resort is a joke !! No Restaurant... No where to get a drink ... they are all closed because of Low Season.

  The Reception told me the Manager Mr. He does not want to speak to me because he works for a management company and not the Ski Resort.

  Please !! strike off this Resort.... it is unprofessional.

  Again is coming ski time, and another day I went to visit this resort when I have to ski each year.

  Is not better. The new hotel is very cheap built and staff are not happy to work. One boy told me the food given to them is badly like a cheap shop.

  No one cares about anything as usual. Will just be another season full of broken promise from the government and the bad management which now has added more from a company called Oct from Shenzhen.

  This hotel was better run when it was owned by the goverment.

  My advice, go to another ski place this year I will try.

  5 stars, no way.

  Is very cheap decoration and still not complete. I visit in the Dragon Boat time and am not happy with what is called a luxury resort.. it is not.

  Thanks for all the comments regarding Beidahu. I am available to collect all the feedback from our guests. I am quite sorry for the bad quality of service in the old Hotel and Restaurant at this moment. The main objective for our new team is to rebuild Beidahu. I am sure that you will see the big change when you come back next time. It will be great helpful for me if you send me an email to write down more details. wubin@beidahuski.com

  I'm having to agree with Andreas. The Ski Hotel in Beidahu is very badly managed, with staff not trained and food is terrible. It is not good they are charging 988 for a weekend room and you can eat only rubbish food for breakfast in a dark smelly bar area and lunch food is also bad. I will not stay again ever this hotel.

  I have never stayed in such appalling accommodation in all my life, as the Beidahu Ski Resort.
  The Restaurant, if that is what you want to call it, is dirty, and the food is terrible.
  I asked several times to speak to the General Manager, who's name I was told was Wu Bin.. but each time was told by staff that he was unavailable, not in the Hotel or out Skiing of all things, I wish I had my job so that I could play during working hours. If this is how he runs a Hotel and staff, I think that he should seriously find a career that better suits him.

  I did meet up with an English Man whose name was Mr. Edwards, I believed that he is the General Manager of the Owners New Hotel. At least he had the decency to apologise for any inconveniences I had suffered, and asked if there was anything he could do to help me. Well at least the Owners have hired a professional to run their newer Hotel, I hope that Mr. Edwards can keep up his professional attitude and not let things slip to the standard of the Old property...
