Loved the bus. So comfy. Everything worked. Sleeper bus - can recommend. Only bad thing was the lunch stop - food terrible and incorrect change given.

The service was great. I felt comfortable in the van enough to fall asleep a few times. Made two 20 min stops for WC or a bite. I hadn’t booked a hotel yet in Sa Pa, but when we arrived the driver asked where I was staying and dropped me off close to the hotel. Also, picked me up from my flat in Hanoi. The communication from the main office before the day was great, as well as the followup a few days after. This company was great and I would book with them again for my travel needs in Vietnam.

Honestly just a mess . Reception put us on wrong bus, it was 2hrs longer than it should have been as a result. The driver screamed the whole time, he honked for like a minute at a time.

The driver pushed us to our beds like he was in a hurry, in a bad way. The bed is not flat and it was really uncomfortable. The driving style was the worst we have ever seen, because of the speed and the turns. Also, the driver was honking the whole trip. So, all that made it was impossible to sleep (in a sleeping bus). Moreover, we arrived 3 hours earlier than expected, so imagine the speed and it means, as well, 3 hour less of sleeping.

We were picked up by S Trips from our hostel and taken to the main bus. The cabins were clean and comfortable with water provided. Journey from Hanoi to Sapa went well with 2 stops along the way. Would recommend.

We couldn't sleep because bus was shaking too much. Plus one seat couldn't bend totally meaning you were half up and one seat had problem with air conditioner so it was freezing
