On time and good seats. However the bus dropped me off a 10 min walk from the actual drop off station, which meant that that 2am in the morning I still had to walk in the pouring rain to the actual location

Comfortable bus, departed late, stopped loads of times in obscure locations to pick up people who sat in the walkway. Stopped for food, included for the locals but not foreigners. Arrived late at the destination.

The Bus left one Hour Early plus I had to get in to a Taxi for the last Hour. Instead of arriving at 4am I was there at 2 am. But I have to say, everyone was nice to me.

Clean and comfortable sleeper that arrived on time. A lot of evening buses from Ninh Binh to Phong Nha seemed to arrive very late, but we made our 1AM arrival time and were able to have our full night in Phong Nha.

We did the Tam Coc - Phong Nha trip. The bus was clean, 2 stops for toilets. It took us 6h of drive. First experience for us in a sleeping bus: we did it during the day, it is not very quiet.
