Hoi An to Phong Nha Destination Reviews

NA
Operator was late by 2hrs without giving any prior info. Compartment length is shorter for average Indian. Driver and conductor talks whole night- distrubing sleep continuously. Too many stops at random places but no good stop for using restroom facility

Driver wasn’t good. Too noice with music playing from him and while in a sleeping bus up front, not nice. But fine sleeping space

The transfer was not well communicated (The message I got said I would transfer in Hanoi but my trip was from Hoi An to Phong Nha) and my bag was returned to me from the second bus smelling of urine (I had to get it washed at the hostel in Phong Nha) but the first bus and drivers were wonderful and I had a great ride with them on the Queen Bee Cafe bus.

Great experience. The bus arrived a little late but there was a chap there who had our names on his phone which reassured us. It stopped every 2 hours as promised. We did a 7hr day trip, not sure I would sleep on one but it was a lovely way to travel through the day.

As far as buses go in Vietnam this was pretty good. 2 stops in a 7 hour journey, very comfy and spacious beds. Bus was an hour late however we were told about this the day before.

The bus was spacious and very comfortable. It was mostly on time, but make sure to be at the bus station at the prescribed time as it left a couple minutes early. However, the last few rows (about half the bus) reeked of urine from the bus toilet. Even with a mask on, I felt nauseous on and off during the trip.

Great experience, felt very looked after before and during the journey. All the staff were very helpful. The bus timings changed to an hours earlier the day before which was slightly inconvenient but fine. The bus stopped 45mins before our stop, we were told to get off and there was a private taxi to take us the rest of the journey. This wasn’t that surprising as we had read reviews citing similar experiences, but something to be maybe be mindful of if you’re a solo female traveler.
