Not very nice experiences had to get 3 busses and we got rushed off them all with no warning of what we had to do. Also 2 hours late.

Really good for a 4 hour journey, however the bus driver made an unnecessary pit stop for ages on a four hour journey which caused a delay...

Bus was dirty, driver was honking every time he pass someone, way more than in any other bus so far, no chance to get any sleep. Also the luggage was thrown out of the bus, when I complained about it the guy just said something in Vietnamese in a very unfriendly way.

It was okay, they sold too many tickets and 4 people were sleeping on the floor on a mattress. The bus was dusty and a dirty near the window ledge and in the cup holders. The bus driver was okay.

The trip was alright but we arrived an hour late and the bus smelled to bad from the toilet on board. It was disgusting and we all felt bad during the trip

Driver operated on his own schedule, leaving about 10 minutes early and telling passengers they did not have enough time for toilet/buying a sandwich. We took a 10 km detour and stayed parked in the middle of nowhere for about 20 minutes waiting for a van to come and load stuff onto the bus. Driver would not tell us what we were doing there, or when we’d have an official toilet break. Driver smoked on the bus, even when passengers requested he stop because it made them nauseous. He said to use a bag to vomit. Check-in lady at the office would not help passengers when they had confirmation emails from 12goasia. Seemed disorganized.

Journey was fine and it was definitely one of the cheapest options for Dong Hoi to Phong Nha at the time. You have to accept some delay etc but given how many extra stops the bus took, it was never going to be the 4 hour journey that was suggested. It's not a complaint really, just worthwhile knowing for this journey.

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.
