Phong Nha to Hoi An Destination Reviews

Exactly as expected, arrived a little early in Hoi an. Travelling with 6 and 8 year old. Although we had 4 beds we only used 3. It felt safe and managed to sleep most of it. Charger didn’t work and bed didn’t move, neither required for our trip.

Again two and a half hours late to hoi an. The bus and the staff were good though. Many unnecessary stops which are not really understandable but maybe it’s just the way it is.

I took the trip from Phong Nha to Hoi An, and unfortunately I was not fully satisfied for several reasons: * The departure time was originally supposed to be 11:00 PM, but it was changed twice: first to 10:40 PM, then to 10:30 PM. I was only informed about the final change at 10:12 PM, just 18 minutes before departure. This put me under unnecessary stress and felt very unprofessional. * We were supposed to arrive in Hoi An at 7:00 AM. Since the bus left earlier than scheduled, we also arrived much earlier, around 5:00 AM. I specifically chose this bus because of the announced arrival time, as it was part of my travel organization. As a result, I had to wait outside for two hours before my hostel reception opened. * The staff on the bus were rude and not communicative. During stops, passengers were not clearly informed whether we were allowed to use the toilet, and at one point we were not allowed to go at all. We were treated without basic consideration, despite this being a very basic human need. Overall, the experience was disappointing and far below what I expected.

Bus itself and the guys on the bus were really good. Pickup was smooth and we arrived ahead of the scheduled time. The only annoying thing was that the owner of the Bus company kept spamming on WhatsApp including several „recommandations“ nobody did ask for! The bus stop in Da Nang, for which free sandwiches were announced, was skipped.

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.
