They were super loud and they have neon lights outside so the whole cabin was illuminated but it is what it is.

We didn't just have a sleeper bus from Ninh Binh to Ha Giang. We were picked up by a minivan which brought us to Hanoi from where we entered the sleeper bus. One minivan wouldn't have been the problem though, but in total we had to change cars five times to get from Ninh Binh to ha Giang. That was quite exhausting and also, the communication was bad. No one could tell us where we were going and how many cars we had to take. It also felt very unnecessary that the first minivan didn't just bring us to the sleeper bus in Hanoi. What happened was that the second minivan brought us to Hanoi and then within Hanoi we had to enter two more minivans who brought us around. Very stupid. I would have given just one star, but the good thing is that we at least made it on time in Ha Giang which felt like a miracle after all day of switching cars and hoping for the best.

The bus was really comfortable, clean and spacious. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t the best.. firstly, it wasn’t explained that we have to transfer to 3 different vans / mini buses - 2 vans before we got on the bus and then 1 once we touched down in Ha Giang. That wasn’t a major issue but …. I have to start from the start - they picked us up just after 4pm was waiting on the bus until about 5:15pm drove for 45minutes .. 6pm we stopped at the airport where I saw a WC (toilet) very clearly, I asked the driver if I could go he told me “no there’s no toilet “, he brushed me off so I began to get off the bus because there were about 4 guys having a smoke. I didn’t see the harm of going to the bathroom quickly. Another man stopped me said there was “no toilet room” I pointed to one & stated there was one but he again brushed me off with a hand shake and a no. So I asked “when will there be a toilet break” I get “5 minutes” with another hand shake /brush off. Okay .. so we’re waiting at this stop the dudes are throwing back another ciggie it’s 6:20pm… 20 minutes of dudes smoking.. we take off. It’s 7:38pm, I’m about to pee myself, my partner goes and asks when the toilet break will be “25 minutes” he says. Awesome, that’s what someone wants hear. 8:00pm still no toilet. It gets to 8:30pm toilet time. That’s not okay. Extremely rude and honestly just taking the piss. We were also an hour and half late, again not a major problem but definitely adding fuel to the fire. The vehicle = great, the staffs attitude = pretty average.

The trip was 3 hours and it took 5 hours, because the first two hours were spent picking up people for each homestay, when there was only one established stop "The Long Restaurant". On the other hand it is not very comfortable, there is little space to put the legs. The driver was talking on the phone with his headphones while driving. I do not recommend traveling with this company.

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.
