Overall the bus was 3h late. Stopped every 20 minutes for some reason and took unnecessary detours.

The bus actually arrived 3 hours earlier than it stated it would, which normally would be a good thing but instead of arriving in Phong Nha at 6am we arrived at 3am! And we left a little late from Hanoi! Otherwise the beds were comfy enough to sleep and I did manage to get more because fortunately where we stayed let us check in early (cherish guesthouse).

Due to the constant honking and breaking it was not possible to get some rest as one doesn't feel safe. The bus was on time. Booking was easy.

Lack of communication, bus was not at pick up point. The company did organise a taxi to the next bus however I was not communicated with by the company or the drivers. The bus smelt like cigarette's and had mould growing on the inner roof.

It was crazy cold, and the fans in the cabin were broken, so I couldn’t turn them off. I was handed a 2nd blanked. Left with a sore throat and was sick. The bus was 2 hours late.
