Hanoi to Phong Nha Destination Reviews

AP
The pick up point said hanoi opera house but no bus came there at all. When I contacted the bus hotline number they told me the pick up will be somewhere else and luckily arranged a grab car for me and 2 other passengers waiting at the opera house like me. Then we drove almost 30mins away to their main office which was a little hut somewhere near the expressway, very weird and unclear situation. I was just happy when the bus drove off and we reach phong nha in the evening.

The seats were very comfortable, and the welcome was warm. A bottle of water was included. It was very noisy because of the air conditioning. But at the and we were happy to travel through the night comfortably.

The bus left 30 minutes early and arrived 2,5h too soon. Normally I wouldn't complain about beeing faster by more than 2 hours, but if you plan transport and other things arround sheduled times.. that's annoying to say atleast.

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.
