Sapa to Hai Phong Destination Reviews

Drivers were talking a lot with each other/on the phone loudly. And we started one hour later than planned for no apparent reason.
You have to share 1 cabin for two people.
They gave us the wrong/old address, thankfully a random (=bot related to the bus company) lady passed by and told us we need to go somewhere else. Thankfully we were at the wrong location one hour before and we had time to go the other one on time.
By arrival we found out that they lost my bag, they’ve put it into another bus 2 stations before we got out. Why? I have no clue. I had to take a taxi, follow the bus, get my backpack and rush to the airport to catch my flight. And ofc I had to pay myself. What a service!

Bus was 2.5 hours late. The company (full moon) buys tickets from other bus company. Pros: they answer to Whatsapp quite fast. Cons: they get little information from actual bus company. They don't really know when the bus comes. When bus comes, they don't really have a list or check your ticket. You just run and hope it is the correct bus and there is place for you. A poor girl had to sleep on the floor because they oversold (or someone sneaked in and they didn't check). On the way they picked up a passenger who also slept on the floor. Get in quick because you really don't want to sleep on the five seater at the very back. They stopped a couple of times for toilet break. They didn't honk that much during the night. The single cabins are ok, a bit tight if you're an average built person. I slept ok. Honestly there isn't much alternative, I been told the two person cabins are worse because you end up sleeping next to a stranger or sometimes they want to make you sleep three people in a two person cabin. So just be patient and be quick when the bus arrives as to not sit near the drivers or at the back.

We booked the VIP20 bus which was super comfortable and had a toilet & WiFi.
You can adjust the seats automatic but the first 5 hours, that didn’t work.
At one point we were transferred to another bus, which was not a VIP bus. The bus wasn’t even cleaned up, used blankets everywhere, really cold and not comfortable at all.
We had to wait almost 2 hours until this bus finally left.

Ba and it was the quickest option with a journey time of 10 hours.
The bus was supposed to start at 07:30, the bus was at the depot, but it didn't leave until 08:00.
The driver and a helper spent a long time discussing what to do with my ticket, Ha Long was on the bus, at least the direction was right.
There were 2 breaks until Hai Phong, which was ok. But it took 9 hours, there were constant stops to get on and off.
In Hai Phong we changed to a simple city bus that went to the ferry. The conductor knew where to get off. And she spoke to a fellow passenger who took me to the ferry and had the money for the ferry ticket and the next bus. On Cat Ba there was another simple city bus. After 13 hours I arrived at my destination in the city of Cat Ba. It was a great experience with friendly Vietnamese people.
But not what I had booked.

Ba und es war die schnellste Option mit 10h Fahrtzeit.
Start sollte 07:30 sein, der Bus stand im Depot, los ging es aber erst um. 08:00.
Der Fahrer und ein Helfer diskutierten lange, was sie mit meinem Ticket machen sollten, Ha Long stand am Bus, zumindest die Richtung stimmte.
Es gab 2 Pausen bis Hai Phong, das war ok. Es dauerte aber schon 9h, ständig gab es Stopps zum Ein- bzw Aussteigen.
In Hai Phong dann umstieg in einen einfachen Stadtbus, der zur Fähre fuhr. Die Schaffnerin wusste, wo aus aussteigen musste. Und sie sprach eine Mitfahrende an, die mich zur Fähre brachte und das Geld für das Fährticket und den nächsten Bus hatte. Auf Cat Ba dann wieder ein einfacher Stadtbus. Nach 13h war ich dann am Ziel in der Stadt Cat Ba. Alles eine schöne Erfahrung mit freundlichen Vietnamesen.
Aber nicht das, was ich gebucht hatte.

The bus left 1.5 h late. The sleeper bus wasn't very comfortable, the seats were really small but we made it eventually on time.

The first bus was good and made a few toilet break stops but they suddenly dropped us off in Haiphong and transferred us to a small public bus without explaining what was happening. Very poorly organised

Alles hat gut geklappt. Etwas ärgerlich war, dass wir unseren Rucksack mit in den Bus nehmen mussten. So wurde es mega eng in der Kabine.
