The curtains were extremely dirty, usb c not working, air con blew even the lid was closed. One if the drivers was very rude, 1st person like this meet in Vietnam. During the night they were waking us up as they draged the luggages from the baggage space to the corridors. It was also delayed. No water on the board was offer to us.

Bus was 3hrs late in ninh binh- no restaurants or shops open when we get there- me hungry. Journey had hidden secret layover in Hanoi that was not mentioned in booking. Why so mysterious?

All good. The only thing he has something in the trunk, that was rolling all the time to the front and back and we couldn’t sleep And we needed to be on pick up point almost 2 hours before departure - we didn’t like that

Really clean, comfortable cabins, the service was great and they had staff ensuring everyone was on board. I can’t rate this 5 stars because of the following: the driver was speeding aggressively on the windy roads which meant you are thrown in your cabin and I got car sick as well as other people. The second reason is despite everyone’s bookings stating what stop they are getting off, the driver knocked on every cabin for every stop all night. There’s nothing to state you are on a bus with multiple stops. So I didn’t sleep at all despite it being set up as a comfortable ride, as someone wakes you up every 30 minutes. The toilet door handle was also broken which meant you had to try and hold it shut whilst on a bus that is throwing you around, and also trying to pee at the same time.

We booked a direct route but got woken up at 4am to change buses and then we didn’t get the cabins we had paid for - we booked this journey in order to get a full sleep but the bus made many stops so we feel we didn’t get the service we paid for

Confortable bus. The bus arrived earlier than predicted, therefore we slept less.
