Pick up was over an hour late and we were waiting thinking we’d be left. We eventually got taken by car to the bus. Then the bus arrived almost 2 hours early!!! Leaving us stuck and a bit stranded in the rain. There was someone smoking on the bus, making the whole bus smell.

40 minutes late in departure, poor transfer at Lao Cai died to lack of information.

The bed was good. But there was not really any service on the bus.

Seats were really small and the blanket was stained but the driver was great
The Busdriver drove like a fanatic. We did not feel that save overall. We arrived 2 hours earlier than planned. Luckily our hotel let us in in the middle of the night….
For the bus itself (VIP 22), 4 stars: nice private cabins with curtains on both sides, fully-flat 6 ft long beds with good width, padding and blanket, 2 USB ports for charging phones (but not enough juice for a laptop), reading lights, adjustable aircon vents, hanging hooks. Shoes-off on boarding the bus. Toilet at the back. Not 5 stars because: my aircon vents made an annoying whistling sound (poor maintenance?), some other cabins had whole families sharing the same berth (sometimes noisy), occasional toilet flushes were audible (although thankfully no smell in the bus). For the booking process, 2 stars: as others have commented, this was poor. Aafter paying on 12Go and receiving a confirmation email, I received a further email 1 hour later from 12Go entitled: "Urgent notice regarding your booking" telling me my bus was fully booked and offering to change me to an inferior bus together with a partial refund. They offered me 20K VND refund, but if I went on the 12Go website I could book the same alternative bus for a saving of 255K VND over what I had already paid. I sent them an email pointing this out, and then an hour later received a reply that the bus operator had found room on my original bus after all and so my original booking was confirmed (again). Was it really necessary to go through this circus? Tip for others: monitor your emails closely after booking your tickets, and be ready to stand your ground in case they try to short-change you.
