Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An Destination Reviews

DO NOT GET ON THE BUS! This was our first experience with a sleeper bus and it was awful. The first red flag was that we were picked up in a dodgy mini van, and driven to another place to get the bus and it was literally full of dirt and rubbish. They loaded our bags onto the bus and then when we left the place loaded our bags onto beds and had put all sorts under the bus like motorbikes and cardboard boxes. The driver is so rude, who do you think you are. He was smoking and drinking, the smoking was consistent and coming through the aircon, all of our clothes stank and it made us feel very ill. The toliet smell was disgusting, it was a consistent smell of urine all through the night.Which would build up as the flush wouldn’t work. The staff don’t speak a word of english, which is fine but their attitude towards the passengers was disgusting and disgraceful. We are two girls, and didn’t feel safe what so ever. Worst 18 hours of my life. Please just don’t come if you have booked it.

My original booking was changed because they never told me the depart location wasn't the one on my ticket, so when I manage to contact them they just put me on the next bus, but I had to wait a long time, and again, nobody told me about the new departure place so there was no possibility for me to get on my original bus.

We went with the ”VIP Cabin Bus by Dinh Nhan” from Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An. The bus was 5/5, you got a little comfortable cabin with massage in it. You could sit and also fix the seat to lay down for sleep. My boyfriend is 1.92cm and he just fit in the cabin. We did some stops on the way. They also have a toilet. I’m so happy with this ride genuinely since I’ve heard som horror stories from other busses but this was very much to recommend!!

All in all it was OK. It was nothing really bad, but also it was nothing really good. It was standard level and did what was described.

My bus got canceled once I was at the station; I was given another bus which was worth 300 000 VND less than my ticket. The bus was clean but my seat was very tight. I was supposed to go to Hoi An and the bus drove me to Da Nang so I had to take a cab to finally get to my destination.

I was supposed to be dropped off at Hoi An but the drivers didn't even passed through the city. They stopped at a petrol station at Da Nang and just told me and the other girl to get out of the bus. The company arrange a car but once the taxi driver asked where we were supposed to be dropped he said the company hadn't paid to go that far, so we had to pay extra to get where we were supposed do go.

The bus was as expected and brand new. We only did a stop in the morning. One of the drivers was not sympathic at all, he was annoyed when checking our tickets which was super complicated... he was super intrusive into our beds when wanting to ask us something and none of them spoke english. We got a transfer to our hotel in Hoi An for free 👍

Bus was good. But it was very disorganised. No one told us what was happening at any point and shouted at us a lot
