Jan WInstead of getting a „Universe Noble 37“ bus, they switched to a less comfortable smaller bus. Would I‘ve known that before, we could have booked a comparable transport for far less money.

Sofia PThey changed us to another bus what departure half hour later, so we have to wait more than one hour (you have to go early) and nobody sent an email and nothing to inform this. They said our original bus was full and they sell out our seats. (We had our check in and the confirmation already) They changed our seats in the new bus too, but after speak with the girl she give us the original seat in the new bus. Finally the bus arrived in time to the city

Elena EPerfect trip, arrived in Battambang earlier than expected 4,5h. We were given water and stopped several times to go to the toilet.
The space between seats is very narrow, a minibus.
The only thing that is not well located on Google Maps the stop in Phnom Penh, you have to put in the search engine: Saly VIP (Phnom Penh).

Daria The bus was very cold, even with long clothes.
Furthermore the timeline said, that we will arrive at 5:30am but we actually arrived at 3:00am without anyone telling us.

Rebecca LThe seats were comfortable but there wasn’t much leg room so it was a bit squashed. There were AC fans but they weren’t very strong so it was still quite warm. Overall experience was good though and I would use them again.
