What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Ha Long Bus Travel?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Well first it was unclear where the pickup location was. The WhatsApp number was not reachable and not even by phone. I was running around between the locations until a driver called me and said Ha Long. Well he took me to the actual bus (which was a cabin bus and not a limosine, which was rather uncomfortable for me as I did not want to sleep...) by his private car. Then I had a smooth bus ride but then I had a sketchy end where I was just dropped off in the middle of no where end the codrive just said Taxi and this Taxi took me then to my hostel (luckily for free). Well a very chaotic beginning and an unclear end. In the end I got to my hostel but was really stressed at the start.

Pick up was on time, but travel time is very inaccurate. False advertising I would say. Travel time on ticket 3h.Time on Google maps is showing 4h. With the stop it took us 4:30 which is ok, but you shouldn't advertise it as 3h.
Bus and staff on bus very good.

Difficult to sleep, got earlier than expected while we didn’t have a room. Plus we strongly suspect that an item was robbed from the luggage rack.

The journey was supposed to take 5 hours, but in reality, it took nearly 7 hours.
The USB port in my cabin wasn't working.
The driver was quite friendly.

Bus was comfortable, but way too many stops collecting goods and the. Dropping those off on the way. At the end we paid for our own taxi as they were messing us around with the hotel drop off. Managed to get some sleep but not a lot.

The pickup “station” isn’t actually a station and you don’t need to be there 30 mins early to “check in” the pick up point is literally coordinates on the side of the road and someone comes and picks you up and takes you to the bus

We arrived at the pick up location as per the booking confirmation 20 minutes before departure yet the bus was not there. Then we got a text when the bus was meant to depart saying due to traffic they had to leave early and could not find us. I tried calling his number but he did not answer and text back saying please text me instead. I explained I was at the pick up location in the car park. He sent us a location of a coffee cafe a short walk away and told us to wait there and he send a smaller car to pick us up and bring us to the bus that would wait for us. This did happen which is why I’m giving 2 stars instead of zero. We were on the first bus from 7:40pm until circa midnight when we had to swap buses, it was then we were swapped onto a already full bus and we had to take the bottom row cabins at the back of the bus that don’t recline flat so you’re sat up at 45 degrees for the remaining 12 hours of the trip which made it very hard to sleep and stretch out. The bus was meant to arrive in Da Nang at 11 and I believe we arrived around 12:20. Besides this the buses were very clean and did stop regularly for toilet breaks.

i got picked up around the estimated time. The bus itself was clean as usual. we stopped often to deliver packages and they were pretty loud in the front considering that it's a sleeper bus. I didn't have a blanket for the first one and a half hours and it was really cold i was wondering if the others have a blanket, yes they did, then i asked the assistant "hellor sir can i please have a blanket" and he said yeah 10 minutes because a other woman had to go to the toilet really urgently and he thought i'm asking for the toilet, then i said no i would like a blanket and he fucking ignored me even though I repeatedly said sir, hello, please, like wtf, he for sure heard me. Then I tabbed another guy and asked him and he brought me one. The communication was quite rude and not clear.

Took several hours longer than planned - some out of their control, but they left am hour late due to late travellers and were doing numerous 'deliveries' along the way which meant stopping. The driver was snappy and not polite. very eratic driving. the pods were comfy which was teh only saving grace

Was ok, but we got 2.5 km away from official drop off point (outside tam coc) then driver pulled over to call us a taxi to take us the rest of the way. They refused to drive the last 5 minutes until I said I would walk the rest(which was a 40 min walk). They did eventually take us the full way tho, but it was strange and annoying since it was late.

The main issue was that we had no way of contacting the operator. The pdf showed conflicting info as to the location of the place, and so we were very unsure. The operator was late, so we were afraid we had missed the bus.

The bus driver messaged me the morning of the trip to confirm our pickup location. The driver was on time and the trip went very smoothly. I found the beds had enough room but you may need to tuck your legs up if you are any taller than 5'7"! Overall very good ride and had several stops to use the bathroom.

Not a great experience. The driver was 15min late and a trip that should take us 3.45hr turned out being 5hrs. The driver left us before our drop off point without explanation and another passenger told us that an small car will pick us up from there.
Driver very noisy, speaking by phone incredibly loud.
The good thing? We actually arrived to our destination. But i wouldn’t recommend it unless you have plenty of time and patience.

It was a great bus ride. They also picked us up at the hostel which was very convenient.
We only arrived two hours earlier then the planned time, which was a bit annoying as we arrived now in the middle of the night and had to organize a hotel last minute because of it. That was the only downside.

There was poor communication with pickup location and Reckless driving. Also the driver seemed to be sick (cold/flu?). We did not feel safe. In addition, the vehicle was not in good working order. None of the USB ports worked and it broke down several times on the way to Halong. I cannot recommend this service to others.

We were the only tourists on the bus most of the trip, and they didnt give us any water or enough toilet breaks for such a long trip. The bus also came to the wrong place for pick up and a hour before planned. Luckily we were already early, but if we werent, we would 100% have missed to bus. Also no communication from the bus company about new pick up place, until we contaced them ourselves. Can’t recommend

The Bus was pretty cool and the cabinets were big enough. But the drive was so bad. We just paused 3 times in a 10h trip and the driver was so fast that we arrived 2,5h before the estimated time! We couldn't sleep because we've been shaking around in that cabin and we were afraid to look out the window.

Air con barely worked- staff were aware as they came round to check the air ports with their hands but offered no solution.
No charge points.
We had two stop offs on a 9/10 hour ride. We have two children who needed the toilet. The meal stop off was 10 minutes which only allowed time to use the toilet rather than get any food.
Overall, an uncomfortable ride.
To add, the pick up point got changed in the morning which cost us additional money to get to new destination. This also left nearly an hour late.
