Hanoi to Ha Giang Destination Reviews

S
Did not get to chose seat and got stuck on the bottom bunks last row. All the other seats seamed fine but if you get stuck in these last 2 it will be pretty miserable. Every other seat/bed actually reclines flat to make it a bed but these last two are smaller than every other seat and also don’t even get close to reclining flat. You will be stuck in an uncomfortable position for a long 5 hour + ride.

The time and location of the bus departure changed twice. The first time about 12 hours before departure the time was changed. Then the departure location changed less than an hour before the newly set departure time. The bus was clean. We were rushed at the rest stops. The bus did arrive early to Ha Giang

We didn't get picked up by the sleeper bus, at first they transferred us by Van and after that some of us got in some sleeper bus, and a group of 6 (us included) got transferred again by van to the sleeper bus. But it wasn't a problem at all, we arrived at our sleeper bus and everything went smoothly from there. They stopped every 2-3h for Toilet break's. The driver kindly dropped us of at our hostel after we asked him if it was possible. The only criticism we have is, we were late 2.5h.
