The booking was from halong bay to sapa but it turned out that there is a connection in Hanoi and the the trip is not as communicated. The only hidden reference is about the category being cabin+limousine The problem is no transperency and this connection wasted 3 hours in my trip

Everything was as per schedule. The bus was very comfortable so everyone could sleep and rest there.

The bus was scheduled to depart at 9:00 PM, so—following instructions—I arrived at the station 30 minutes early. The bus to Sapa was indeed parked there, but nothing was happening at 9:00 PM. By 9:20 PM, I was getting very anxious about the lack of activity, so I knocked on the bus door. A sleepy driver opened it, looked at my ticket, and said a different bus would be taking the trip. So, I kept waiting. I walked around the entire station looking for another bus to Sapa, but saw nothing. A short while later, another bus arrived; I ran over to show my ticket, and they let me on board. The whole wait, with no up-to-date information, was exhausting. I was also bothered by the fact that the bus didn't announce restroom stops. I had to stay alert so I wouldn't miss one, so I chose not to sleep.

Was given a window of pick up between 8:20 to 9:50pm (for what was meant to leave at 9:30pm for the international port. We arrived at 8pm to make sure we were early and the port where the buses work in and out of were closed and dark (we went there during the day to know where to go that night) so no access to anything especially toilets. By 9:30pm the number still wasn’t answering and finally text back saying a van would pick us up in 15 mins to take us to the actual bus. Then we were taken to the side of a road where the bus was waiting (7 mins drive so not sure why they didn’t just tell us to wait there for the actual bus) and we were expected to get on with still having no access to a toilet. After cracking the shits at the driver they took us to the petrol station to use the toilet. Apart from that the bus was good. Hard for me at 6 foot 4 (you are too big if over 150-160cm). Doable with my legs folded up but hard for an 9 hour ride.

Very awesome experience. I enjoyed the ac, and the comfy bed with pillow and clean blanket. It was nice to have a charger port available and the wifi worked almost the entire trip. The driver was friendly and safe and punctual. The assistance thru the wifi app was much appreciated for pick-up directions. The bus was on time and I would highly recommend this bus service company. Best bus of my life so far!!!

I thought the bottom bunk would be the better place but when you're 76 years old you can't get off the ground
