Bus was lovely and not too late however the driver stopped to drink spirits at one of our rest stops and so was driving under the influence the whole trip overnight. He also pumped the air con onto freezing cold making it hard to sleep because it was warmer at the front of the bus.

They changed pickup location a few hours before departure. I was told to arrive at 22:30 for the 23:00 bus. It only departed after midnight so I had to wait around in the street for 1.5hrs. Staff were rude and incompetent. The charger and massage function in the bed didn’t work. Driver was so loud and was driving so erratically I couldn’t sleep at all.

Great bus trip! The bus was amazing, we had one with big beds and even a toilet in the bus! I guess it was a VIP one though, but it was the only option left when we booked. Everything was one time, despite pretty bad traffic.

In my opinion, this is the best bus company in Vietnam. It left 7 minutes early and arrived half an hour late. That's not a big deal; we had a very pleasant journey. The massage seats were fantastic. We had two breaks, and the English announcements before each break clearly showed how long we were going to be. It was definitely worth the money. Thank you all so much.

Driver didn’t stop at designated spots, took our food and so we were not allowed to eat at all during the 7 hour journey. We also did not get the coach we booked despite arriving earlier than the recommended time and had to wait an hour for the next one as they overbooked.Coach was comfy and clean, journey would have been great but ruined by the driver not stopping despite audio announcements telling us we would stop, and as a result not being able to eat any food for the entire journey.

I booked the 7am bus transfer, only to be told to arrive at 6:15am for the 6:30am transfer, which ended up arriving at 7am. There were two rest stops - the second stop we had to pay to use the bathroom only for there to be no toilet paper or hand soap. It would’ve been handy for the bus driver to have this on hand or as a passenger been told so we could come prepared. My seat was broken so I couldn’t adjust it. Poor experience and wouldn’t use this bus provider again.
