Uncomfortable beds. Very small. Disgusting blankets. The bus stop so many times, to pick up small cargo. The driver droved like crazy. Very bad experience. We changed bus, that was quick and nice, especially because the second bus was great, but also stop many times.

After getting food poisining before the trip they were really forthcoming in spontaneously delaying my trip to the next day even though thenticlet in itself was nonrefundable. So great service and the ride itself was pleasant too.

Good structured journey. I like that the company tries to keep the passengers in the so called picture.

While travelling from SaPa to cat ba . First part of journey was not great as there was lot of mis communication once they told they will pick us up from hotel which was on the way to Hanoi (jnk SaPa home say n swimming pool) then they text me to come to office as they won’t be able to pick up saying roads are too crowded and lot of jam on road for 11:30 pm bus (what a joke ) entire town was drop dead after 7:30pm may the traffic jam was on her mind jokes apart . The front desk people of sao SaPa bus office is very rude and bad . This was bad part but the remaining part from Hanoi to cat ba was good one guy came along with us for the entire journey till cat ba hotel . Even though the bus from Hanoi to port was cramped (very less space in side ) no complain so far for that as my love for SaPa is too much . Guide from Hanoi to cat ba was really good . This was for 14-15 feb journey 2026

We arrived on time! One star less, because the cabins were a good bit shorter than I have experience before.

The bus arrived on time and the bed was comfortable. However, there were people sleeping in the aisle in the middle of the bus, and the bus did not stop at the location where it was supposed to. As a result, I had to take a taxi to the Buffalo Hostel, which was a 10-minute drive.
