Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap Destination Reviews
ML
Max LI dont understand the bad reviews. We took the bus from Ho Chi Minh to Siem Reap with a bus-transfer in Phnom Penh and everything worked perfectly. The first bus, from HCMC to Phnom Penh was a very comfortable seater bus with working AC, power sockets, a clean toilet (no paper), bottled water and a small snack. The second bus was a sleeper bus with pretty comfortable beds with a pillow and a blanket included, we slept very good. Be aware that if you book your ticket as a solo traveler you should book one of the solo beds or you could end up cuddling with a stranger. The onboard staff (driver + assistant) were extremly kind and spoke nearly perfect english. They arranged the immigration stuff at the boarder for us, which was very convenient. Due to the several traffic jams and the boarder patrols, the bus was roughly an hour late, which absolutely was not the buses fault. We would definetely take this bus again!
One downside: the bus departed 45 mins early, and we were not informed beforehand, we were just lucky that we were one hour early.
Thank you Ibis

Krystel KThe bus to exit point of Vietnam is good, then we were transferred to a mini van, the mini van is uncomfy. I thought this minivan was a private booking just for us, but it's still picking up and waiting for passengers along the way, so the trip is taking forever. Then it even stopped at a market — I think the driver bought something for their meal.

Magnus GFirst bus was a large coach but no seatbelts. The service through the border was okay, not much communication just following people. Border fee was $30 plus $10 to bus company to handle border paperwork etc. We had to wait a while in Phnom Penh for our connecting bus, after 10mins of being on the bus our driver decided to take a 15min break.. We were 2 hours late, although other customers said arrival time was meant to be 7pm so 3 hrs late as we arrived at 10pm. Second bus was hot and AC was rubbish, it was in the evening so this helped reduce the temperature. We were dropped off at a different location than the PDF/ticket stated so had to ask for help as we'd informed our hotel to collect us. Both buses stopped approx every 2 hrs which was good.
