Ho Chi Minh City to Hoi An Destination Reviews

SL
Bus avec 5h00 de retard suite panne. Conducteur obligé de faire une réparation de fortune avec les moyens du bord... De la graisse un peu partout. Et 23h00 pour faire 695 km. Une honte surtout lorsque le miniVan à l'arrivée refuse de vois poser à votre hôtel alors qu'il passe devant.

Driver was keep increasing music, despite that nobody want to listen (night time). He droped us 15km away from point declared at booking.

NO TOILETS and no idea when we will next stop! Stopper 2 times in a 16 hour journey. Made to feel very uncomfortable as a female solo traveller. Men coming behind my curtain to grab my hand and sniff it, putting me on FaceTime to their relatives. I know this is all part of the Asian culture but I wouldn’t go again, I felt super uncomfortable and stressed the entire trip.

Staff were extremely rude when anyone asked them a question. Such as how long is this break. They would just shout at us to hurry up and eat or go to the toilet. I fell asleep and it was only for another solo traveller waking me up that I got off at the right stop or else they would have kept going despite asking me previously where I was aiming to go to. Very disorganised.

I have never left a bad review before but feel like I have to. First we had a 1.5hr transfer to our bus. This was far from the departure location they told us. I tried to contact the business via WhatsApp, which we had been previously talking on and they did not reply at all. For a VIP luxury buss, our beds did not lay flat, charging ports did not work, Tv did not work and the beds were unclean. We did not stop for food at all. We arrived 3hrs early which seems good but not when you check in is at 1PM and we arrived at 6.30am. We had minimal sleep as the driver drove very rough also. Don’t recommend this company, have had so many busses and this was the worst.

First off the bus driver was really angry and yelling at us and didn’t speak a word english, but then later he was nice again so it’s okay. The bus itself was okay, it was as comfortable as you can expect a 2-star sleeperbus can be. The only downside was all the older vietnamese men that kept opening my curtain to look at me (a 20-year old girl) and even flash a flashlight in my face, so i was really scared the whole night. Also many people on the bus kept yelling really loud in vietnamese all through the night, and the sink in the bus toilet didn’t work.

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.
