Very good experience overall in a VIP cabin. Everything went smoothly, although actual pickup point was not where it was written, people there were aware of us and took care of transporting us there (without any additional fee)

We took the night bus from Halong to Sapa and booked the tickets via 12goAsia with Sapa Ethnic Travel. Having read previous reviews, it wasn't quite so bad as we were already prepared for the worst. The most important info from our experience. The bus was fully booked but there were no people in the aisle. The bus was full of mosquitoes (pack your spray!). There are several stops along the way, but there are no official breaks. Toilet stops were out of the question on the 8-hour journey. There was no toilet on board either. Of course the driver doesn't speak English, actually no one on board. The tourists were shouted at by the driver to lie down in the back in the assembly areas (5 next to each other and on top of each other). You are not allowed to choose your seat. The good seats are reserved for local passengers. There is little space for luggage in the bus (even downstairs), as thousands of other things are being transported (e.g. motorcycles - wtf). Smaller luggage is often left in the aisle. In Lao Cai you are then transferred to a mini van (overcrowded) to Sapa. For 38 euros for 2 tickets, not the best experience. The private car from Halong costs 170USD in comparison. You should think twice ;-) The pick-up station in Halong is not at the Bay Chai Bus Station, but virtually in front of it. Diagonally opposite the Mitsubishi store. But we had to find out for ourselves. Our bus was "only" 30 minutes late for pick-up. And 1.5 hours on arrival. So the times are not soooo precise.

Wir sind mit dem Nachtbus von Halong nach Sapa gefahren und haben die Tickets via 12goAsia bei Sapa Ethnic Travel gebucht. Nachdem ich vorherige Reviews gelesen hatte, war es nicht ganz so schlimm, da wir schon auf das Schlimmste eingestellt waren. Die wichtigsten Infos aus unserer Erfahrung. Der Bus war ausgebucht, aber es lagen keine Menschen im Gang. Der Bus war voller Mücken (Spray einpacken!). Es wird mehrfach auf dem Weg angehalten, offizielle Pausen gibt es aber nicht. An WC Stops nicht zu denken bei der 8h Fahrt. Ein WC an Board gab es auch nicht. Der Fahrer spricht natürlich kein Englisch, eigentlich keiner an Board. Die Touristen wurden vom Fahrer angeschrien sich nach hinten auf Sammelplätze (5 nebeneinander und übereinander) zu legen. Man darf den Platz also nicht wählen. Die guten Plätze sind einheimischen Mitfahrern vorbehalten. Platz für Gepäck ist im Bus (auch unten wenig), da tausend andere Sachen transportiert werden (zB Motorrad- wtf). Kleineres Gepäck steht also oft im Gang herum. In Lao Cai wird man dann in einen Mini Van (überfüllt) bis nach Sapa umgeladen. Für 38 Euro für 2 Tickets gar nicht mal die beste Erfahrung gewesen. Das Private Car aus Halong kostet im Vergleich 170USD. Sollte man sich gut überlegen ;-) die Abholstation in Halong ist übrigens nicht in der Bay Chai Bus Station, sondern quasi davor. Schräg gegenüber von dem Mitsubishi Laden. Mussten wir aber auch selbst rausfinden. Unser Bus hatte "nur" 30min Verspätung bei Abholung. Und 1.5h bei Ankunft. Die Zeiten sind also nicht soooo genau zu verstehen.
