Beautiful Cabin, but crazy driver .. Every 1,5h stop was okay, but i dont understand why the driver always had to drive hard left and right curves before the stop - just to wake everybody up.. but He could also talk or shout to tell the sleeping people that He will stop, or not ??

This was a really good bus service, there were numerous wee stops a long the way and a slightly longer one to get food. Of course the food is slightly more pricey at the bus stops. The driver was safe and the sleeper was comfortable. Really nice views along the way too!

The bus was on time, and the sleeping bus was comfortable. You have a blanket and a bottle of water provided. The driver spoke no English and didn’t make any toilet stops from Hanoi to Sapa 5h, but it was during the night so it was ok. Overall I recommend it!

Bus was great but driver was very rude and impatient. No information given how long mid way stop was for. Would be easy to learn one sentence, even one English word to communicate with passengers who all speak some English. Felt like cattle in a market at the mid way stop… it was all money money and a big rush to eat food and get back on the bus. My advice, bring your own food and use the toilet on the bus if you can. My stars are for the lovely clean bus!

Do it only If you have to. You would think after having so many tourists from abroad the driver would learn at least few words in English or at least have some more information printed out but no, and if you do something that you not suppose to do you getting shouted at. Overall the ride is OK and will get you to the destination. Not on time, driver on the phone most of the time so don’t forget your noise cancelling headphones ;) suppose to be 2 stops - three was only 1 with feeling no other than you’ve being forced to buy stuff from this place that been made up for all of us obviously with overpriced everything including paid toilet that lady is making up the price as she wish. No food in the bus?! Which we haven’t been told either. I suggest to get to the bus tired so you can sleep all the way :)

Beyond expectations! ⭐️ The bus was amazing and super comfortable. The driver drove very carefully, which made the whole trip feel safe and relaxing. The seats are very spacious, and they provide blankets, which is perfect for resting. You can easily sleep or just sit back and relax during the journey.
