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
