I think I only recommend the experience for people who have already been in Vietnam for a while. No one speaks english on the bus, and no one will be available to even try to communicate or explain anything to you. You have to guess everything and be very patient. The bus was not dirty, but they assigned me an upper bunk (I reserved a lower bunk) and I died of cold sleeping all night with 10 degrees, they give you a blanket (it's not enough take something else) and in the middle of the night the bus stops at a dining room that apparently serves food included in the price (nobody explains this to you, they just ignored me, although I told the bus attendant that I wanted to buy food when I saw that they agreed, in the end I bought a snack outside). Another important thing, I am 1.60 cm tall, I think that a person over 1.80 cm would have a very hard time, because there is hardly any room for the legs. Only suitable for very tolerant westerners haha

Seats are way too small. Drivers are unkind and they smoke, smoke, smoke. Air conditionners make so terrible noise. The only good thing is that we finally arrive.

I arrived at the ticket booth and nobody was there. A lady sent me over to the bus, rushed me on and then the bus left earlier than planned. The bus it’s self was okay. A previous passenger had used my cup holder as an ashtray which was disgusting. There was no instructions given at the dinner stop for foreigners. They dropped me off literally on the side of the road at 4am outside Ninh Binh. They kept turning on all the lights even when they stopped for fuel at 2am when nobody was allowed off the bus. No sleep was had on this journey. My least favourite trip through all of Vietnam.

the stuff was really bad. They were joking about me and the communication was really bad. will not do it again

The seats were to small as me and my friends could not extend our legs. The bus was only had 3 stops and they were really short. My friend needed to pee and had to wait 2,5 h before it stopped

Seates are confortable. The bus was dirty and you could not turn off the air conditioning. The bus left from the first station 20 minutes before the scheduled time, I hope they checked all the passengers were on the bus!

Ok first of all - the bus went 45 minutes earlier so we suggest getting an hour before the departure. The staff was nice and tried to help although they did not know much English. The interior - well it’s far from ideal. The bus was quite old, the chairs are ok for person of 150cm high so most Europeans will feel uncomfortable. There’s no USB ports, curtain, toilet. The feeling of intimacy is minimal. Drivers drive like maniacs so forget about sleeping - they constantly honk and make turns. Overall - would recommend to find top notch, premium bus or - as we decided to do along our way to south - take a plane.

The bus ride took way longer then said on your website.

Very informative and fun trip
