An hour before the bus time, we got massage about delay of 2 hours. After I chat with them, they booked us at the bus with only 1 hour delay. Since that all was good. But... the bus dropped us not on the place that mentioned at the ticket information, and the taxi driver waiting us in other place. It was 1:30 am, and we are with a baby. So shame !!!

On the Booking page it seams like every 30 Min a bus is running. I booked one for 8am, but there was no bus. I asked the lady in the office and she said it's everyday the same, the bus is not coming until 9 or later. After she made a call after 9 they told me they have maintenance issues, but I don't believe it, all other guest had bikes 11 as pick up, so I had to wait 3 hours for the bus. If I had known in advance I could check out later and have a nice morning. The driver also made a lot of stops for deliveries and also for Lokals to bring home. The bus was even passing out destination for a private drop off so for us additional 30 Min longer drive....

Good bus, left on time and arrived on time. Only know that the space isn't so big if you are larger than 1m60

We paid for 2 seats which we got for the first part of the journey, however we had to swap buses to a bus with not enough seats. The two of us then had to share one single bed for 5 hours, other people on the bus had to share with random people too.

Overall, the trip felt poorly organized. My ticket was for 10:30am and passengers were asked to arrive 20 minutes early, so I was there at 10am waiting under the sun in front of the bus. One staff member saw me the entire time and didn’t communicate at all, he was shirtless, taking a nap on the bus, then eventually got off while we continued waiting. We finally departed at 10:45am. During the trip, there were multiple unnecessary stops that seemed to be for personal errands, including picking up a watermelon from someone’s house and stopping to drop off laundry. Near the end of the journey, we also realized we were heading in the wrong direction towards Dong Nghèn until another passenger pointed it out to the driver, who then turned around. We finally arrived around 6:45pm instead of the scheduled 6:00pm.

Bus itself was spacious and comfortable. We were supposed to arrive at 7am, but they drove like maniacs and we somehow arrived at 5am. The staff were rude, constantly rushing everyone to get on the bus when we were leaving Hoi An as if we were late (even though it was 20min before we were supposed to leave), and then getting all of us off the bus at 5am as quickly as possible so they could drive off. We stopped 2min after leaving because some travellers were fighting to get on the bus (they seemed to have tickets and were told by the WhatsApp operator that this was their bus). They made it on eventually, but only because they fought hard for it - pretty poor organisation. The journey itself was fine, we could sleep and made it from A to B, but the service either end was pretty poor.

The sleeper bus had the widest sleeping birth so far and the seat lever actually worked so really comfy trip. Best sleeper over our 3 week journey. The pickup location office in Hoi An was a room with seats rather than waiting on the streets so that was nice too. The ticket they sent us had a picture of the pick up location which was helpful
