Ha Giang to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

Booking said direct bus from ha giang to ninh binh, we ended up taking 4 different buses instead. We weren’t informed about the fact that we had to transfer to another bus instead Hanoi at 5am until after the booking. In Hanoi someone first had to take us to the other bus station before we could get on the bus to Ninh binh. We arrived on time but the failed communication about the fact that we had to transfer several times was unfortunate.

Super nice! Buses were perfect, the company rearranged my journey to go from Ha giang to Tam coc, even if my first bus was so late!

We took the overnight Single Cabin VIP bus from Ha Giang to Ninh Binh. The sleeper bus from Ha Giang to Hanoi was very comfortable. However, at 4 AM when we arrived to Hanoi, we were sent to a shuttle bus which drove around Hanoi for 1 hour dropping people off until we were dropped at a bus station for a different limousine bus from Hanoi to Ninh Binh. There was no information included in the booking about needing to transfer buses in the middle of the night, nor other communication made with us prior to the ride. I understand that there was a language barrier, but there was very little effort put in during the ride to inform us what was happening, so we spent multiple hours very confused about what was going on. We were mostly disappointed because we paid more than other options for a bus we thought we could sleep on for the whole night, yet we only got a couple hours of sleep.

I booked a bus from ha Giang to tam coc and needed to transfer to the second bus in Hanoi. When I arrived, they told me the second bus had left me and I'd need to wait for the next one, one hour later. Window blinds were also shared with the cabin Infront and behind, which made the trip uncomfortable, as the other people wanted the blinds fully shut the whole trip.

We could easily arrange pick up near our homestay. Even an employee showed up to check if everything worked well. Sleeping bus is not for tall people but comfortable and comfortable to travel.

It was super uncomfortable. We had the last cabins and they were small and it did not work properly to flat the seat. On the other hand, we forgot a bag at the pick up and they managed to get it before leaving ha Giang. If it was not for that it would be 1 star only. It also stop A LOT in the middle of the road with no reason.

Aggressive operators, got out every 15 minutes to smoke. Got to the destination 1h30 later than we were supposed to. Did not even drop us at the right place at 4h30 am.

This bus service felt extremely misleading and poorly organized. Despite providing the exact coordinates for the meeting point, the bus was not there when we arrived. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress as we tried to locate it while worrying about missing the departure time. The only positive aspect was that the WhatsApp support responded fairly quickly. The bigger issue, however, was the booking itself. I originally booked a private cabin sleeper bus, which was confirmed on 12go. Shortly after booking, we were told the bus was actually fully booked. If that’s the case, why is it still being advertised and sold on the platform? Instead of the bus we paid for, the organizer moved us to a different sleeper bus. I assumed this would be similar, just without the private cabin. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. Me and my partner were placed in the back of the bus on a single mattress shared with three other people, five people total sleeping on roughly a 5m² space. If I had knowingly booked this type of arrangement, I wouldn’t complain. But being downgraded from a private cabin to a shared mattress without any prior notice or refund is unacceptable. To make matters worse, the overall experience felt very impersonal. Passengers were rushed onto the bus and directed where to sit or sleep with little explanation, which made the experience feel chaotic and uncomfortable. @12go.asia: you should not advertise buses that are no longer available, and if customers are downgraded to a lower standard service, they should receive a refund or at least be informed beforehand.

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.
