Bus arrived 20 minutes late to pick us up. It arrived at our destination 2 hours late. The seats were much smaller than they looked in the photos.

The bus was late, and so we were told we had to hurry to get on the bus. Weird, because I am not the one that is late. I was put in the very back bottom bunk of the bus. I couldn't sit up and there was no light switch or something, so from around 18:00 till we arrived around 22:25 I was sat in the dark, crouched over. A lot of the other seats were empty, so I don't understand why you would book someone into the most uncomfortable seats first, instead of last. Very dumb and also a bit mean in my opinion. The workers on the bus were unhelpful and rude. They threw my bag on the floor, would not turn on the lights when we were getting off (which they did for everyone else), did not communicate well at all. It was not a nice experience and I woul probably not book a bus like this again, unless there are absolutely no other options.

The local agency where I caught my bus was not helpful. They cancelled my earlier bus from 1030 am which I had already purchased a ticket, and did not try to work with me. They told me to be there at 7pm and had no staff at the office. Once I called multiple times they finally showed up and did not explain anything. I waited over an hour and after may questions I finally was put on a bus. The bus ride was excellent but the local sales person was not.

When we were on our way to the meeting point with a grab, I got a message from the company, telling us the bus will be 3 hours late. So we had to order another grab to drive us back to our hotel that we had just left 30 minutes ago. Back at the meeting point 3 hours later, we had to wait another hour without being informed about anything. We didn't even reached someone through texts and calls. The bus ride itself was awful. Don't get me wrong, I'm very used to such journey and it's part of the adventure in my opinion. But the driver raced through the area at 110 km/h (I assume that the maximum speed on the road we were traveling on was 80 km/h) and it really shook us back and forth. Anyone familiar with Asian roads knows that they are designed more for motorcycles and only smaller cars. The traffic is chaotic and you generally drive more slowly than too fast. Since our driver was speeding, he had to honk his way through. I'm not exaggerating: he honked his horn all night long, which is obviously not so cool in a sleeper bus. As I said, for me it's part of the adventure, but I also find it a bit reckless. I wondered who would be liable if something happened.

Drivers smoked while driving in the bus and also honked the whole time.
We were dropped off at a different spot as said in the booking. Almost 30 minutes away and then we’re told to take a taxi

The bus arrived at 8am instead od 5am. We stopped a lot of times during the travel to pick up some baggage. The driver was smoking.

The driver did nothing but honk during the 9h journey, driving very fast and very badly.

How far is Hoi An from Khanh Hoa?

How long does it take to get from Hoi An to Khanh Hoa by bus?
Buses normally need between 7h and 12h hours to get to Khanh Hoa from Hoi An. Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.
On this route, VietNam Travel Bus (Việt Nam Travel Bus) offers the fastest service. An Phu Hoi An Travel buses usually take the longest time to complete the journey.
Remember, though, that tickets offering the shortest travel time are normally the most expensive ones. Yet it pays to spend a bit more to ensure your bus goes direct without additional stops and uses highways instead of local roads.
How much does it cost to get from Hoi An to Khanh Hoa by bus?
The price of your bus ticket will depend not only on the distance you need to cover but on the class of your coach. E.g. expect to shell out more for VIP or sleeper buses while ordinary buses though being the cheapest option, often are a compromise on comfort and travel time. Of course, they do their job, too, and can be the only option if you hop on/off in the middle of the route.
Anyway, travelling by bus between Hoi An and Khanh Hoa remains an affordable option. The cheapest ticket is offered by Hanh Cafe and costs USD 16.82. A Cocovip Limousine's ticket will set you back USD 16.82 on average.
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.
