Vehicle was disgusting. Stopped numerous times to pick up supplies from warehouses and drop them off on the side of busy dual carriageways. Left an hour and 10 mins late. 1 toilet stop for 7 hours

Bus left an hour late and made a stop after 20 minutes so the drivers could have dinner. After this it did not make any further stops. This VIP bus did not seem very VIP, the seats were small and uncomfortable and the toilet smelt very bad.

We left on time, wonderful. Sleeping cabin was okay. There was a toilet on the bus! The only negatieve point is that there was no space for the luggage, so that was placed in the alle where people walked over.

The bus arrived 1h40 late. The bus was comfortable and clean, with toilets. The driver wasn't too bad. But the bed rails were at head level, which didn't prevent me from falling off while sleeping.

Le bus est arrivé 1h40 en retard. Le bus était confortable et propre, et avec des toilettes. Le conducteur conduisait pas si mal. Mais les barrières du lit étaient situés au niveau de la tête, ce qui ne m’a pas empêché de tomber durant mon sommeil.
The bus steward was aggressive showing us to our seats…Unsure what the rules are in Vietnam but there was a woman smoking below me and it just stank the whole bus. The seats are comfy but the way they drive you can’t really sleep.
