There was no toilet on the bus and it didn’t stop until 4hrs into the journey. My cabin was okay but my husbands light didn’t work along with a couple of other issues. We took a different company back to Hanoi that was better.

One of the best sleeper buses I've been on. The driver was very friendly. Had multiple stops for toilet and snacks. Blankets and sleeping areas were far cleaner compared to other bus providers. Would highly recommend.

Everything was great! The buses are private, clean and comfortable! The only thing which really disappointed us was the wrong location of the office and the wrong pin dropped by the tour company. Be careful, guys! Because the pin and the office are located 850m from each other. So, we had to run in order not to be late.

My spouse, three sons (10 months and 3 and 6 years old) took the night Laman Express from Hanoi to Sa Pa. Everything was explained and organized in a very good way. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Additionally, the prices are super fair, our cabin was very clean and comfortable, we found some sleep and we arrived safely and in time in Sa Pa.

The ride to Sapa from Hanoi went well, but the location of the bus pickup point was not clearly described. Even after I contacted the 12Go office, I was not told clearly where to meet the bus. This disaster was only narrowly avoided because the bus arrived late.

CR
I did like a lot the bus, and we also had 20 min to go the the toilet and eat something. I did not like the process of buying the ticket online because important information is missing. When people book it should only be available if there are in fact available seats. Also, it is not true that there are buses each 15 min. I managed to understand how it works because I found a phone on internet and I could talk to an operator.
