Well, I went to the store and ask for 3 oneway tickets from Hanoi to Sapa. Better for them (no comisson 12Go) and better for me (better price then 12Go). Actually the tickets were more expensive then booking online via their website. Unfortunaly, I couldn't book on their website so I had to do it via 12Go. Still don't understand why it's more expensive when buying a fysic ticket instead of online. The bus was one hour to early (06.30 instead of 07.30). Fine driver, clean bus. I certainly will book here again (online via the hotel :p)

Very clean bus from Sao Viet Bus, bus was 40min late, the departure point can be a bit confusing as there is no Sapa Ethnic travel office anywhere.
