Hanoi to Ha Giang Destination Reviews

SL
0 stars if it was an option. The driver stops every 10 minutes and let more and more people in and squeezes them onto the floor, offers us money to share a cabin. The assistant next to the driver talks on the phone every 5 minutes loudly and shouts. This is ridiculous. If we wanted that, we wouldn't take a sleeper, but a minivan. The driver also honks every 10 seconds at least. These all makes it not sleeper, but a waker.

The meeting point and the hour was changed at last time and I missed the bus because I received the information via mail and I don't open my mail box every two hours!

When I booked the bus ride it was not clear to me that it would be a night bus during the day.On the website it appeared like a normal day bus.Instead of being able to enjoy the view we had to look out of the window lying down.No one books a night bus at 2pm. The bus has no toilet and we get some stops where we can use very dirty washrooms. The operator was 30 minutes late. The bus drivers were helpful and contancted us via whattsapp to tell us they would be late.

I asked the driver to stop for toilet and he refused. Even we stopped a lot if time to pick up and drop off people. First stop was after 4 hours of driving. The bus arrived 2 hours later and we arrived to Ha Giang after 23. So missed the dinner
