Ninh Binh to Dong Hoi Destination Reviews

MV

We booked the 22:30 bus and we got contacted by the company if we could make the 21:00 bus - due to this reschedule we had to change our plans and drive to another city, which was no problem to do so by the bus company. The bus was on time, clean and made several stops along the way. Upon arriving in Hue we got transferred to a van which drove us to our hotel.

It would have been better down the end of the bus away from the horn blowing. The 8 hour trip probably only took 5 or 6 hours. We had to stop at around 4am to change bus. There was no toilet stop and no English spoken. Our driver just gestured me to an abandoned building to pee.. Ew. Our second bus driver very nicely dropped us at our hotel. It was an experience but not one I will be repeating anytime soon.

Our trip was far from perfect but Cat Ba Discovery (who we booked with but didn’t undertake our journey) have since been very helpful and reached out after I complained. I am happy with how they have resolved my issues. It is difficult to rate Cat Ba Discovery as they did not provide the service even though we booked with them via 12Go. Duy Khanh Limousine however, were poor. They provided the service/bus journey which was extremely unsatisfactory. There were dirty cabins, it was overbooked, people sitting in the aisle, we were asked to move and not reimbursed for this, various stops to make deliveries, not dropped at the drop off point stipulated on the booking form etc etc. Avoid Duy Khanh Limousine.

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.
