Ana BNo toilet stops, broken courtain and the bus departed earlier than expected so I had to hurry up to get it.

Jana SThe trip was on time and the bus was fine. Water was provided and the staff at pick up station were very friendly. Unfortunately, we were kicked out at the wrong stop, which was much further from our accommodation. The bus also arrived 1 1/2h early and no one prepared us for the abrupt stop, so everyone was practically still asleep and had to hurry out of the bus.

Cezary OI understand that booking less than 48 hours before departure is risky, but if it's impossible, it shouldn't be offered. Communication with the operator was very chaotic. First of all, what I wanted to book wasn't available. Finally, after a few iterations, for the same price, our bus departed later, arrived earlier, and we had different spots than I booked. All in all, the bus was new, clean, safe, and we arrived there where we wanted, so I shouldn't complain.

Giorgiana Great company! Bus has excellent conditions! It departed in time and the drive was smooth and reached destination even a bit earlier.

Marie Bus was comfortable and clean. The bus company changed the pick up location 30min before departure after we had already arrived at the initial location. Also our bus arrived 2h30min ahead of schedule which isn’t particularly a problem, just make sure to check your location as the schedule isn’t really respected.

Nicolas I took the sleep bus from Hoi An to Tam Coc and overall the experience was excellent. The service was great and the bed was very comfortable.
The only thing to note is that we arrived earlier than expected (around 6:00 AM in Ninh Binh instead of 7:45 AM). I woke up by chance to get off, and then their charter van took us directly to our hotel, which was very convenient. Just something to be aware of.
Overall, I highly recommend it.
Tip: avoid the last beds, as they are a bit shorter :)

Chad QI loved the experience and the comfort. I had expected at least one stop on this 12 hour ride, but instead we went like maniacs and made it in 3 hours less without stopping. 9 hours instead of 12. Sounds great if you have snacks but then you are dropped off 3 hours early before sunrise and everything is closed. That's the only negative. Everything else is wonderful and I wouldn't trade any of it for having a bathroom on board which was very nice to have and why they can get there so fast.

Stephen MNo pillows made the cabin less comfortable.
Driver missed a pickup and went back which took 55 mins.
Driver drove very fast, braked hard and pressed histhe horn A LOT (THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SLEEPER BUS). I counted 53 horn operations between 22:00 and 23:00.
I felt VERY unsafe!
And even though bus went back to pick up forgotten passenger (effectively starting the journey at 19:55), we arrived almost 2h early at our destination. Had the driver slowed down we could have easily arrived on time and had a more pleasant journey.

Laura GHectic and rushed driving, cold AC blasting. Couldn't sleep in the 'sleeper' bus due to all this.
Arrived very early at 6 am instead of 8 and got kicked out when it was dark and cold with nowhere to go.
