The bus came 1 hour early and arrived 2 hours early. So we arrived at 4:30 am at our destination. That was a bit inconvenient. Bus the journey was fine and the sleep cabins were spacious enough and clean.

Bus came late, we didn’t have any information on which bus was gonna take us and had to contact Sapa Discovery. The bus, from another company, arrived 1,5hrs later and the trip started almost with 2hrs delay. Organization is something to improve

Bus showed up 1 hour late without any communication. Quality of the seats was good and the seats had more leg space than some of the other buses we took. Overall fine for the price.

People at Thien Phu Hostel were very unfriendly. When you book online, choose another pick up point. Also no stop to get some food.
