Sapa to Noi Bai Airport Destination Reviews

The trip was all fine but the driver thought it was normal to slap both me and my girlfriend purposefully. Safe to say it didn’t make us feel comfortable

Customer service online was fast and responsive, and the hotel pickup staff and drivers were all friendly and helpful. The facilities were quite standard, but still acceptable. However, the counter staff felt a bit rude and rushed. They asked again about my destination even though my printed ticket clearly showed the airport, and they were not very attentive since 3 passengers were mistaken as 2. Overall, the trip was okay, but the counter service could be improved.

Decent trip, did the job. Lying down is the only option - particularly if you're tall (I'm over 6 foot) - but was able to rest on the journey. One stop, in the second half of the journey. Smaller bus took us from near the airport to our terminal. Generally on time and smooth ride.

The Pick up location was stated as Grand Flamant SAPA Hotel but hotel reception has made us walk to the main bus station. For People who have heavy luggage or luggage with no wheels, it’s a problem. Why To make such an inconvenience , it’s best to state the right location so that taxi can drop you off where you should be. The bus we have boarded was a completely different bus , not a SAPA dragon express. The bus was outdated, dirty, privacy curtains missing. Also a drop off location wasn’t the airport, the bus dropped us off at Grand Dragon hotel from where we had to take the taxi to the airport. Lots of inconvenience!
