Ho Chi Minh City to Hoi An Destination Reviews

The driving was very jerky, lots of honking and we did random stops waiting without anything going on. Had a 6+ hours delay as well. You could constantly smell smoke. They lost something from my luggage and their customer support isn't answering.

We went with the ”VIP Cabin Bus by Dinh Nhan” from Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An. The bus was 5/5, you got a little comfortable cabin with massage in it. You could sit and also fix the seat to lay down for sleep. My boyfriend is 1.92cm and he just fit in the cabin. We did some stops on the way. They also have a toilet. I’m so happy with this ride genuinely since I’ve heard som horror stories from other busses but this was very much to recommend!!

All in all it was OK. It was nothing really bad, but also it was nothing really good. It was standard level and did what was described.

My bus got canceled once I was at the station; I was given another bus which was worth 300 000 VND less than my ticket. The bus was clean but my seat was very tight. I was supposed to go to Hoi An and the bus drove me to Da Nang so I had to take a cab to finally get to my destination.

I was supposed to be dropped off at Hoi An but the drivers didn't even passed through the city. They stopped at a petrol station at Da Nang and just told me and the other girl to get out of the bus. The company arrange a car but once the taxi driver asked where we were supposed to be dropped he said the company hadn't paid to go that far, so we had to pay extra to get where we were supposed do go.

The bus was as expected and brand new. We only did a stop in the morning. One of the drivers was not sympathic at all, he was annoyed when checking our tickets which was super complicated... he was super intrusive into our beds when wanting to ask us something and none of them spoke english. We got a transfer to our hotel in Hoi An for free 👍

Bus was good. But it was very disorganised. No one told us what was happening at any point and shouted at us a lot

In HCM the assistant driver was helpful with the luggage. But I bought a ticket to Hoi An and they dropped me in Da Nang. Then(after several times asking) they said a minibus would come for me. It didn't...and after waiting for almost an hour, a Grab driver came. He told me a grab scooter would come for me. Ridiculous of course: an hour on a scooter with 2 back backs! Then they said I had to pay for the grab car myself..after resisting a few times I paid 50%. Bad service!!!!

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.
