Sapa to Hai Phong Destination Reviews

Make sure you meet the bus at the bus stop instead of asking for hotel pickup. The bus did not pick me up even after calling to confirm it was coming and I waited around three hours in the end before someone called to help. They did however rearrange my bus for me for free and provide me with free accommodation for the night as I had to wait a day to get to my destination. Once the issue was resolved the buses were very good and efficient and they were very apologetic.

Comfortable bus with plenty of toilet breaks. Very organised. The only downside is the long break between each bus.

When we arrived to the ferry terminal before cat ba island, our bus driver just left us there. We paid to be taken all the way to cat ba town. There were only two of us left for this part of the journey so I assume this is why (they decided it wasn’t worth their time), but nonetheless felt ripped off. The driver kind of laughed at me when I said he needed to take us there because that’s what we paid for (google translate). Otherwise the bus was comfortable and left on time.

Communication before the trip was good. Sleeper bus was comfortable. Water and wifi. From Hanoi to ferry and from ferry to cat ba city centre was a normal bus. Regular seats. Not too bad, were only short trips.

Changed our bus in Hanoi, first bus driver didn’t inform us about anything, probably because he didn’t speak English, bus had some beeping all night and he also drove pretty fast in bad weather and on winding road, so we couldn’t sleep a lot. But that was another company, as soon as Goodmorning Catba took over, we were informed about every stop, change of vehicles and brought directly to our destination.
