300 USD for a VIP 4-bed that has only VIP as a name. VIP is only dur to a bag for breaksfast and that’s all. Old wagon, very expensive for a so-called VIP…
Wir waren absolut positiv überrascht von der Erfahrung. Der Bus war sehr bequem und die Fahrt war alles in allem echt angenehm. Einzig zu beachten ist, dass es kein Klo im Bus gibt. Die Organisation bis zur Abholstelle war eigentlich super, ich hatte via Whats App Kontakt mit den Organisatoren. Der eine Stern Abzug ist, weil wir dann mit einem Shuttle irgendwo hingebracht wurden wo keiner wusste wo wir hinwollen weil es anscheinend dir falsche Company war. Im Endeffekt kommt man dann aber immer irgendwie an. Für uns aufjedenfall ein lustiges Abenteuer. Würden wir wieder machen.
Wi-Fi - The WiFi was very temperamental and kept disconnecting.
Driver - Very fast, which I don’t mind but his braking is very late and took turns too late.
Comfort - The bed due to the plastic can be sticky. A small pillow would be great.
TV - Did not work.

The operator was very friendly and directly approachable via WhatsApp. On the day of travel, I was upgraded to the 2 birth VIP cabin for free!
The service was amazing, the toilets were clean and great snacks and breakfast was provided! I would highly recommend this service!
Our 18 hour bus from Danang to Hanoi was booked for 13.30 and showed up close to 14.30. The bus itself had three rows of beds, top and bottom. The beds were comfortable enough and you got a blanket and pillow, how clean they were I can't say but when you're tired enough anything will do. I am 5' 9'' and I could just about straighten my legs fully so anyone taller this is something to consider.
The driver loved the horn and drove very fast, swerving things last minute a lot. He drove so fast that we actually arrived 2 hours early 😅.
Overall I had an expectation for what this bus would be like because I had been on one five years ago. I can safely say it hasn't changed much. However for a cheap way to cover all that ground it's fine once you don't have strict timings you need to stick to and you can sleep through a lot of noise from beeping. Would recommend a sleeping mask too as every town you go through is very lit up at night.

Its all about expectations! Are you going to get an extraordinary nights sleep.. no.. is it pristine clean ..no… but are you going to see beautiful countryside and share and moments with locals … yes… if you’re open to it… my time on board..babysat for 15 mins while a mum got food, met young elites head to toe in designer clothes and my last cabin buddy insisted on sharing food with me..as well as loadsa small interactions with kids and families…come prepared with what you are comfortable with, be open to embracing what it is…its not luxury but its not terrible, honestly apart from the clunky old train sounds its actually really peaceful.. and a true slice of being in here.. my only advice is… choose a bottom bunk and bring ear plugs and a hoodie…and try and time it so you get plenty of day time…the views are sometimes stunning sometimes nothing but overall .. super happy I did this.
Smoking was allowed and our cabin smelled. Staff barged into our cabin at 6 am without knocking to sell us crappy coffee. The food package supplied at boarding included a ham sandwich. Please offer non pork options. The whole world does not eat pig. Bathroom supplies ran out half way through the trip with nothing replaced after telling staff. It was not worth $100 Canadian.
