Da Nang to Hoi An Destination Reviews

The sleeper bus ride came as a surprise for us. However, we would have appreciated it more if the departure time from Hoi An to Da Nang was the same as mentioned in the ticket. We didn't expect to leave Hoi An 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. The good thing about it was the clear communication, so we didn't miss the ride home to Da Nang. Overall, it was a great experience.

I had booked a shuttle for 12:00. At 11:00, the driver message me to ask where I was. I told him I was at my hotel. He sent me several messages expressing his dissatisfaction, saying I was supposed to be at the train station 30 minutes before departure and that I wasn't there; he was waiting for me. I arrived at the train station at 11:30. I have proof of our messages. He was not happy; no smile, no words,no Hello, no goodbye or thank you. Throughout the entire journey, he was talking on his phone, on Facebook, and making sudden stops. Bad experience with this driver.

I booked 12PM-1PM from Da Nang to Hoi An because I was planning to take a ferry to Cham island. About an hour before, my hotel owner told me I won’t make it in time for the last boat and urged me to take a Grab instead. Even though it was last second, the travel company agreed to change my ticket for the return route without extra charge. It was incredibly generous considering it was mainly my fault for not checking the exact times of the boat. I am very thankful for this kind gesture. The ride back was quick and smooth. It was a simple car but the driver was patient and brought me safely to my destination.
