The first bus is not very comfortable but at least it’s a sleeper - you have to change bus at Phnom Penh at 5 am waiting outside for an hour, then the next bus ISN’T EVEN A SLEEPER BUS which takes another 6 hours to get to Saigon. Very bad advert for this transfer, pay for a sleeper bus then only have one for half the journey

We switched vehicles three times (well four if you count the tuktuk ride from the pick up point to the bus), were woken up around one hour after departure etc. I you want a smooth ride where you actually get some sleep during the ride from point A to B - pick another operator.

Although the booking makes you believe that it is a direct sleeper bus, it is not. The whole bus was woken up before 5 am at Phnom Penh and told it's a final destination. It caused quite a confusion between passengers and the staff was struggling to explain us what's happening. We were left at a bus station (that didn't have enough space for everyone and was on a busy street), after waiting for over half an hour, we were picked up by other bus - not a sleeper but quite comfortable one and continued our journey to Saigon. Afterall the bus ride was quite pleasant, we made stops for bathroom and we've arrived sooner than scheduled but we ended up feeling scammed and annoyed as non of it was mentioned before. I also recommend being careful as bus drivers didn't notice a passenger is missing on the borders before other travelers brought it up.
