Phong Nha to Hanoi Destination Reviews

They dropped us off at a different location then mentioned in the booking (30min away from the address, by car) We left half an hour early and still arrived 2 hours late. The phone charging station wasn’t working. One place where they dropped us off for a toilet break was soo dirty. You really could not go there.

I was at the pickup point on time, yet the bus driver called me angrily asking where I am and saying I should immediately rush to the bus. Turns out he was not coming to the bus station, but was parking down the road of the bus station. So he was in the wrong place, yet he was calling me angrily. I did spend a little more money on the ticket to get a better and more comfortable bus. The bus didn’t look anything like on the ticket. Also, we arrived at the destination 2 hours early so that I had to be there in the middle of the night. Overall everything would be fine, but the bus drivers are one of the rudest people I’ve met. Definitely didn’t expect that in a country where all the other people are so kind and helpful. It’s a shame that the bus organizations dull the experience of Vietnam travelers!

Three different vehicles, inexplicably made a stop 15 mins outside of drop off point in old quarter to transfer to smaller vehicle that never arrived. We had to get a grab instead. Advise another operator.

I originally booked for 130am and the lady who’s connected with the bus (tiep Nguyen)told be that the bus is arriving early and there aren’t any 130am bus available so she wanted me to come at 12am instead.I already was irritated bc if there aren’t any 130 buses available why even have it posted?Then when I did arrive at 12 she left me outside while there were rats running around and the bus was 30-45mins late…She was unprofessional and didn’t communicate in person.Instead she left me outside with the rats until the bus came…

The bus was 2 hours late, and when the bus arrived there were no room for our backpacks in the storage under the bus, so we had to take it inside. If was unclear where to sleep, but luckily there were room enough for everyone. At Nihn Binh we had to get into another bus. But we still came half an hour early, so that was nice.

Bus was comfy enough but didn’t give us any information the entire trip. Dropped us in a random place and made us change to 4 different cars without any information and arrived to our hostel an hour and a half late

Bus was on time which was good. Staff were rude and stops were at horrible places. But the worst part was they stopped 10km from the arrival point on a random street and told me to get off. So I was just left with my bag miles from where I paid to arrive. I think that is terrible. No communication why. Just get off.

The trip itself was good but: in the Bus the toilette paper was unuseful. The worst was that we arrive at 5:00 AM, so 2 hours before the expected time which was 7am, It's a big difference. And the Toilette in your Hanoi office was really bad, dirty and without papes, really bad. I'm giving 3 stars average because the trip was correct.

Bus was 1.5 hours late - it seems that it’s a 10:30pm bus not 9pm. I don’t understand why it’s advertised as 9pm if the standard time for it to come to phong nhà is 10:30pm. Frustrating waiting around. Thiên Phu hostel wouldn’t even let us use their bathroom whilst we waited there for the pick up .
