Phong Nha to Hoi An Destination Reviews

MS

Bus had a two hour delay, which can happen of course. Besides that the 2 people that ruled the bus drive were very rude towards us. Last 30minutes the bus stopped and we had to get in a car which brought us into the city centre. None of this was communicated towards us. Not my first sleeper bus in Vietnam but definitely the worst one so far.

The bus ride itself was comfortable, but unfortunately the drivers were not polite and did not make us feel welcome. At one point, my sister urgently needed to use the restroom—she was in real pain. When we asked if the bus could stop, the driver simply said, “30 more minutes.” We found this very inhumane. After asking several more times, they eventually stopped about 10–15 minutes later. When we arrived in Da Nang and were transferring to a taxi to Hoi An, I was putting on my shoes, which took no more than two minutes. The driver kept rushing me, which felt unnecessary and quite rude. On top of that, one of the drivers was making loud phone calls throughout the entire night, almost continuously, making it difficult to rest. Until now, I have only had positive experiences booking buses through 12Go, but I was genuinely relieved when this journey was over.

I felt like I paid for a standard service but got a VIP upgrade, as the bed was much more spacious and comfortable this time. The drivers were polite and drove carefully, and we arrived well ahead of schedule. The restroom, though small, was clean.

The journey was supposed to take 5 hours, but in reality, it took nearly 7 hours. The USB port in my cabin wasn't working. The driver was quite friendly.
