Hai Phong to Sapa Destination Reviews

MT
It was not direct bus and we have to wait for transfer for 2 hour in Hanoi. Guide from 1st bus asked to go to another company's office where a woman told us that our bus will come to earlier Sapa at 04:00 because there was ne ticket seats available in in later bus (I have ordered to arrive at 05:00). I said the this is not what I ordered and started complaining… and, surprise , seats have appeared in later bus!

I booked a bus with a sleep cabin. When I booked the bus it did not say that there are two different busses and that the first one is a normal bus. I did not booked that. Second, there was 2 hours waiting time in old quarter Hanoi no one told me before. I dif not booked that either.

The sleeping bus from Hanoi to Sapa was fine. But the bus from Cat Ba to Hanoi had very stuffy air and was a little bit late.

The bus left early and the driver was very unfriendly and drove very fast and irresponsible. The first bus was and old bus with tiny normal seats. Then We had to wait two hours in Hanoi for the sleeper bus. The driver of the sleeper bus was also very unfriendly and didn’t let us do bathroom breaks. We arrived in SaPa at 03:30 in the morning and the driver immediately chased us of the bus. Although the estimated arrival time was 6 a.m. We didn’t know what to do then because 3:30 is not near any check in time. Overall the drivers were very rude but we arrived.

In total it was a good experience. But we booked a trip with Good Morning from Cat Ba to Sapa. In Hanoi they dropped us off at another bus company (Sao Viet) - we didnt know before and nobody told us about it. If we knew beforehand maybe we wouldnt have booked the whole trip like this to Sapa. The service stuff from Sao Viet is not the nicest.

OP
Too many people compared to the number of seats provided on the bus. Staff not really smiling and welcoming

The operator changed my booking to an earlier time and bus. Instead of 1700 we started at 1530.

The Bus trip was good. But the cabins/ beds are very short. It is not very comfortable for tall people.
