Hanoi to Ha Giang Destination Reviews

LG
We booked King star company leaving Ha Giang at 8.30 Company did not showed up, they "sold us" to another operator (red buses) forced us to minivan going to different station and as a cherry - our bus had minor accident with truck (truck driver was responsible not our bus driver) 22 km before Hanoi so we had to take taxi and not wait hours for vietnamese police to show up etc... Absolutely not reccomended

Night bus: - did not have the toilet - had electric seats, but electric seats were not working - bus arrived 1:45 hours earlier than planned. It would be great to know these things before. Good things: - it was clean - driver and co-driver were friendly

Left and arrived on time. Were told 2 bathroom breaks, but was only 1 after the first two hours of driving (out of 7!). Multiple people asked the driver for a stop, that never happened and were told “20 minutes” or “no english” at those requests. Sleeperbeds were quite short, but all very clean
