We had a good trip to Ho Chi Minh. The driver of the bus was great and drove very safely. The bus wasn't as comfortable as regular sleepers with the 2 cabins across but we knew that before booking it.

Communication was poor as we didn’t know what was going on at all. We got to the bus arrival stop 2 hours before the scheduled time which was not expected. We had to get off the coach and then onto a minibus which we didn’t understand what was happening.

We arrived at the bus station and the employes from the original bus company told us that we paid double the price and that our tickets are not activated. We then wrote to Kelly and she ghosted us and only sends us the tickets in the last 10 minutes before leaving…really bad service and dubious

+ our ticket was for 430pm and nothing to do anymore after we have explored Datanla.and MongoLand in Dalat since it was just a day trip for me and my son. We decided to go to the bus station early so we could try to change for an earlier trip. Luckily, we were there before 1pm and there was.a.130pm going back.to.Ho.Chi Minh same.price, same VIP sleeper bus - Good thing I was wearing a seatbelt while asleep because there was a time on the road wherr I was going from.left to the right side of the bed...but i was safe bec of the seatbelt and it didnt bother much because i was super sleepy. It just.woke.me.up a few times.

I booked this ride because it was night ride that was supposed to arrive around 6:30am at HCMC and arrived at 4am. We were told through voice messages before the bus ride started that we were going to stop twice to use toilets and eat something, we ended up just stopping once in a petrol station where there was nowhere to buy something to eat. Even though the bus was high-end there was no toilet in, compared to most of the cabin bus I’ve taken in Vietnam. In addition there were only 4-5 people in the bus and was assigned a cabin where the charging ports and the TV where not working. Overall, poor experience for the price compared to other bus companies.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
