The driver was so kind. Another traveller left her phone charging at the station. The driver called dispatch, we waiting on the side of the road, and a motorcycle delivered her phone within 20 minutes. He spoke good english and was patient.

The drivers behave towards the passengers as if they are not customers. You don't know when they will stop, you don't know how much rest time you have, and they constantly rush you for everything. I believe that if I have to use a bus from this company again, I will never do it again.The bus did not depart from the location specified on the ticket,it was outside of the town and the departure time was delayed with 30min.

I'd read a lot about these sleeper bus. Everything was OK. We made the trip from Hoi An to Ninh Binh. We were comfortable, we can charge our phone. There are water bottles. Several stops to go to the restrooms. We even arrived early.

We had a change in the departure point; however, the information was promptly communicated via WhatsApp by the HK business team, so everything was perfectly managed. The bus itself was very clean and spacious (I'm 1.83m tall), and I had no complaints about the temperature. The AC was on, but a blanket was provided, and each seat had its own controls. There was no toilet on board, but 15-minute stops were arranged every 3–4 hours during the journey. The driving was smooth, and the bus arrived on time. Highly recommended.

I booked the bus por 19:30, but the company contacted me because it was already overbooked, but they helped me to sort out everything smoothly. It was a very very comfortable and clean bus, that made a couple stops for the toilet. We arrive earlier, which was nice!

We departured 15 minutes before, it's not common in our country. We offered bus with toilet and this was not in bus. The plačeš for toilet during our journey were not clean. One from drivers was unpleasent, when we want ask about toilet. Drivers don't spaek english. Temperature in bus was very low. I'm not sure, how often you wash blanket and pillow. Will be better púť it after washing to some plastic back.

The bus ride was ok and the staff was nice. The only thing that really bothered me was that the bus driver smoked all night long inside the bus. While there were a lot of children on the bus. It smelt really bad and I find that absolutely unacceptable.

Was pretty decent experience, the process was easy and not much confusion once we got to the meeting area. We were pretty concerned by the reviews and was definitely expecting the worst but it ended up being fine. We would probably go with SDT again.

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.
