Sapa to Hanoi Destination Reviews

EL
Check-in was smooth. English skills of the local staff is minimal however. Bus was clean and fairly comfortable. However, some of the equipment was a bit run down, the screens and the remote control were mostly cosmetic as they did not appear to work or do anything. My wife did not even have a remote or a headphone in her cabin, like I did. The bus left on time but was a bit late at the destination. The stops along the way were okay, just be prepared to pay toilet fees. The drop off in Hanoi was a total let down... not at the actual destination address but rather on some nearby avenue. Then while some of the customers had a free shuttle ride to their final destination, we were left out somehow. We asked why that was the case and they said we had to request it before the drop-off. Not sure when we were supposed to book that shuttle, no one ever offered that free service to us. We did call their customer service prior to the trip and we were assured they would be a shuttle service at their main destination. So, anyway, we ended up getting our own Grab ride... too bad such poor conclusion to our trip.

The driver was unfriendly and very abrupt driving. The cabins were dirty, the TV didn't work and there was no wifi. He arrived late in Hanoi, he left us all in the middle of a road 25km from the arrival point. He told us to wait 5 minutes for another bus that would take us, and it never arrived. We had to use Grab. No one gave us explanations

The entire booking process was smooth and easy. The bus journey was comfortable and I am very grateful they made a detour to the international airport to drop me in time for my early morning flight. Thanks to the driver who actually came all the way to the back of the bus to wake me up at the airport stop. Definitely recommend their service, value for money

Quite poor experience. Not on time and dropped us in the middle of nowhere and parked us in a dirty van without AC and never provided any explanations. Staff is rude.
