The man behind the counter go Asia couldn’t even be bothered to look up at me when I asked if we were in the right place and offered to show my tickets. Just no need for such a rudeness. The bus suddenly stopped and the driver shouted Hoi an. We were in fact in Danang but nobody gave us that information. We were just heard it off the bus like prisoners. The Driver kept shouting go go as there was no warning. It took a few minutes for me to gather up my stuff as a 70-year-old woman, they make no effort to help at all and as I was struggling down the steps with my bags he went to push me and was screaming at me to get off. I have never experienced anything so awful in my life. This man should not have a job. All the passengers on the bus were tourists and without us tourist paying for our VIP bus he would not have a job how dare somebody treat people like that? Literally it was like we were prisoners being Turf off the prison bus, I would never use this bus service again.

It was suboptimal to have to change the bus at 6 a.m., but the experience was great, though

Great overall experience with HK Buslines sleeper bus from Tam Coc (Ninh Binh) to Hoi An. The bus itself is well equipped with enough space to sleep comfortably always remembering you choose to sleep on a bus and not on your home comfy bed. From Tam Coc we first took a shuttle to reach the HK bus stop in Ninh Binh and then after waiting 30min our bus arrived. This stopped in Da Nang where we waited other 30min before another bus came to being us to Hoi An. Good value for money! If you are not pickup I would highly recommend It.

Poorly organised. Bad communication. Bus was 2 hours late picking us up. People were sleeping on the floor of bus using the pillows and blankets from the beds. No pillows. Had to ask for blanket to use as pillow. No allocated sleeping compartment. Dirty bus. No water no snacks as shown in photo. No toilet stops or coffee stops. Driver spent a lot of time driving around De Nang dropping of passengers at lots of different places. When we got to our destination in Hoi An he just left us there and drove off. After a 2km walk in the heat we saw the driver and the bus parked up. He could have dropped us off closer to town if offered . Seat was broken

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.
