James DSeats were fine. Any taller than 6 ft and you might become pretty uncomfortable.
Either you stay reclined all the way or you end up bouncing around for any stop which is frequent and jarring because the reclining feature bounces when partially upright

Eugene N⚖️ I travelled the route from Ho Chi Minh City to the outskirts of Nha Trang with my Palestine flag on a sleeper coach, and I absolutely can't complain - except for minor feelings of nausea which is kind of standard for me. I travelled️🍼 during the day and the journey itself was occasionally bumpy - unsurfaced roads - but had several refreshment stops along the way at genuine restaurant/supermarket/restroom stations. 🌏Thankfully no loo in the vehicle itself! The roll-down window shades were ️ excellent - excluding all light, even the midday variety - and there were charging points at one end of the sufficiently 🌎spacious sleeper seat. It will accommodate anybody around 5'5" and 50kg. Any taller or fatter and you'll have to twist, 📚sit up or elevate your legs against one of the sides of the compartment. Curtains along the aisle 🗝️ ensured privacy. Plus there were several different types of lighting available in each cubicle. Super good🗝️ value. You'll get at least one bottle of water gratis! 🌍An Apartheid-free Palestine, from the River - one full circumnavigation of the 🌏 globe - back to the Mediterranean Sea! ️ Misogynistic Genocidal Entities (guilty of Thieving and Systematic Rape of Indigenous Palestinian communities) have NO RIGHT TO EXIST !

Paul Great Experience. On Time pick up, on Time Drop off. Space a bit small for People over 1,75 Meters and 46 Shoes Number.

Sarah PDeparture address was incorrect, was sent up and down the street several times before finding the right place.
Bus didn’t have a rest stop in 7 hours.
Dropping locals off and parcels in different places causing us to be late.
Got whacked on the ankle and told to get off the bus at an address that wasn’t on my ticket. I’d chosen accom a 3 min walk away from the drop off but was dropped off a 15 min drive away at 10pm at night.
Seat was comfortable and got a bottle of water.

Amber GChanged the pick up location on the day. The coach was supposed to arrived in nha trang at 7am but dropped me off alone at 3:30am which meant I had no accommodation for the night. Scary as a lone traveller and the bus staff were loud and the journey was uncomfortable

Naomi Bus arrived 20 minutes after scheduled departure and arrived 3.5 hours ahead of the scheduled arrival time.
There is no toilets on this bus. You have to ask to stop and squat on side of road. Be prepared that the Driver and steward speak no english and you will have to tell them where you want to stop/get off the bus. Tip: Bring a screenshot of the location/ address/ map. The air conditioning was good and it felt very safe. The bus was clean. the bed was comfortable for 5’11 person (6’ person does not lay flat - but comfortable enough for short journey). Your luggage goes underneath the bus, pick up and drop off is very quick, have to be prepared with all your belongings at short notice to get on/off. For price and journey length this was a suitable option. Tip: book bottom bunk 9 & 10 for good sleep (no body will walk past you in night )

Lydie MVery comfortable but instead of arriving at 6:35 am as forecast, we arrived at 3:00am. I was with my child in the middle of the night in a city in the countryside. Bad expérience.

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.
