Great ride, great seats, good clenliness. 30 mins stop over for dinner just before an hour of destination can be avoided.

We were expecting to arrive from Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh at 7:30, however we had arrived at 5:30. I understand that the estimated time of arrival is based on the service provider's experience, however being 2 hours earlier seems to be a bit too much. We have taken a lot of sleeping vehicles during the night, and this one has been the least comfortable we had taken in SE Asia. So we are not that satisfied about our experience.

Good bus. Left a little early after making sure everyone was on the bus. The seat numbers are confusing as they had arrows next to the seat number pointing towards the wrong seat. This caused some confusion as someone couldn’t find their seat to end up realizing I was in theirs and then I had to get up and change after being settled in for several minutes. Just ignore the arrows and go into the seat closest to the number you’re given. WiFi was good and water was given. AC was weak so I was slightly uncomfortable the whole night. Rest stop about every hour so you don’t have to worry too much about there not being a restroom on board. Three seats per row so not as spacious as sleeper buses with only two per row. Got to the HCMC in about 6 hours which was 1.5 hours earlier than scheduled. I didn’t mind but don’t expect to sleep for 7 hours on board if you’re traveling from Nha Trang to Saigon.

The bus I booked was full so I had to change my departure time to a different bus. When we got to the outskirts of HCMC we then had to change buses.

Three rows of seats is uncomfortable, not only the seats are supertight, also the space to move back & forth is. The operator service was bad in terms of changing my reservation to departure 3 hrs later. On the other hand I had trouble in contacting my hotel.and the operator has been a great help in establishing the contact.

I’m so happy I booked this! I wanted to change my ticket for an earlier one and despite the last minute request via WhatsApp the night before the company was very reactive and changed my ticket free of charge! Besides, the bus was clean, comfortable and spacious. The ride was smooth and there were proper announcements before stops. The big bus won’t enter the city, so they transfer you to a mini bus that is a bit more cramped but it’s just for a few minutes. Also, traffic was good so we arrived 1 or 2 holes earlier which I was hoping for!
