The toilet flooded, then when we finally stopped for a break to get food the conductor told us to throw our food in the bin, but just us white people everyone else was allowed to eat there food on the bus.. Then we arrived 2 hrs late and the driver was driving very fast and aggressively... As I was with my son I was so nervous... All in all a racist and horrible trip..

Bus was comfortable and on time, driver didn't go crazy on the road, there was WiFi and toilet. However, the toilet was not the best, as you would expect in a bus: door didn't close, tiny space, average cleaness and know water to wash your hands, there was toilet paper. Their store in Ho Chi Mihn where it departs from was crowded, not many places to sit and no AC, there are cafes nearby where you can hang out.

Pick up was on time. Amenities provided as advertised: water bottle, snack (2 little Peppie chocolate banana cakes), AC, WiFi, and relief facilities in the back. AC was good temperature (can control 2 vent directions above you). Restroom was clean - convenient since no stops were taken. WiFi was fast enough. Got to station at around 4:30am (2.5 hours early) so expect a big window for the arrival time. Transfer shuttle was ready on arrival to take me to my accommodations. They WhatsApp messaged me earlier in the day to arrange things. They were also helpful on WhatsApp when I needed the WiFi passcode after forgetting to ask (phone number listed on ticket).

This cabin was not suitable for a tall person. I was put in the middle section of the bus and had just two curtains on my sides. If you struggle being in small spaces or have phobia you will get stressed. Another thing was, the bus started half an hour later because we had to be transferred to a station outside of Ho chi min. Also, no stops were made during the 6+ hour journey. I wouldn’t recommend.

Transport was rescheduled 3 hours later n I missed an important appointment. When the bus came, no proper communication given n I did ask the people loading luggage about the correct bus as I booked a "Sleeper bus"; but what came was a seat type. After much query, one mentioned it's a transfer bus. After transferring bus, along the journey, there was no stops for us to eat. From 8 am till about 7 pm, I did not have anything to eat. It would be much appreciated if transport providers do take note that passengers may need to eat along the way. Thank you
