Sleeper bus was quite okay, beds were clean. I slept the whole time, but the bed was really short for me and I couldn’t stretch my legs. The bus had 1 hour delay… but the support through WhatsApp was very helpful and they responded fast

Hard to find and got the confirmation 20min. before the departure although I booked one day before. Also didn't go a single cabin and had to share my cabin.

The bus left late, and so arrived late. The seats we had were comfortable but the charging ports didn’t work. The operators also stopped to let other people on so there were passengers asleep on the floor in the aisle. I’m not sure if this is common or not for Vietnam.

The Bus was 2.5 Hours delayed. I think they combine the 9 am and the 11.30 am bus on purpose. There was no information regarding the delay. Only after I messaged them on Facebook they responded. Other than that: the bus was clean and comfy. The driver was good. Only a few honks. And they transported us right to our hotel.

Really good, and most important for Vietnam: the bus left on time without an agent writing you the schedule needs to change like in other companies. Recommended!
