Vahit DThe bus ride was excellent in every way from providing basic amenities to the comfort of the seats. As far as the driving is concerned well even the best driver would have to compete with the conditions of driving in this part of the world

Judith ABus was ok. Shame the staff in the office in HCMC allow people to come into their office and hassle you into transport to your hotel at rip off prices. They could easily tell them to stay outside

Vanessa The bus is reasonable, but it can be a little uncomfortable for taller people, as some seats don't have enough space to fully stretch your legs, and we were unlucky (I'm 1.73 tall). A few seats had the material (fake leather) a little damaged, but my seat luckily had its cover intact. The air conditioning can be strong at some times and they don't provide coverings on the bus, so I suggest you take a blanket or sweater on the trip as it can be cold. There was a small bottle of room temperature water free of charge at each seat. The trip was relatively uneventful, but none of them spoke English, so communication is limited. You get off at stops, for example, without knowing exactly how long you have to break to eat or go to the bathroom, or even when they take your passport, without telling you what will happen, when they will return it, what you should do, if you have already arrived at the final destination or not, then you end up getting a little lost and going with the flow without knowing what will come next. When we arrived at the final part of the journey, about a little less than an hour before reaching the center of Ho Chi Minh, we would need to get off the bus and take the final journey by Van, but I believe that due to their lack of organization, there were no enough seats in the Van, and we had to wait for the next car. They said the next car would arrive in 15 minutes, but it actually arrived 2 hours later. At least, halfway through this journey (after an hour of waiting super tired in the heat) the employees at that bus stop kindly made us wait comfortably inside an air-conditioned bus and gave us fresh water, they were very kind and polite. In the end everything worked out and we arrived at our destination. Important: If you need a visa to enter Vietnam (this depends on your nationality), only board the bus if your visa is approved, as visa on arrival is only possible when you enter the country through the airport. When entering by land, by bus or car, there is no way to obtain a visa on the spot and you have to arrange the visa in advance.

Dayanna NThe overall trip was quite ok. We arrived about 2 hours late mostly due to traffic and the time spent when crossing the border.
The bus does not have a lot of leg room, but it’s manageable. Also, we had enough brakes, they provide slippers, water and a free lunch.
You will need to leave the passport and the visa (if required) when leaving PP, and they will help with the visa procedures. When exiting Cambodgia I had to personally go to the office, and when entering Vietnam you need to take your luggages and go through customs (there is a line for groups). Also, you will need to change the bus at some point. The communication in English was limited, so I mostly followed what the other passengers were doing.
Overall, it was a good price value for the journey.

Tanja HNo tables, recline of the seats only a little bit possible, bad communication Crew to guest. They should let us know some Minutes before a stop, that we will stop. Instead they pushed us after the bus stop. Bad English skills of the crew, bad behavior, watching movies next to guest without headphones. Would be easier, when writing the complete Adresse for PickUp and DropOff on the voucher instead of „Ho-Chi-Minh City“.

Crystal CSmooth driving, comfortable seats, water given out, 2 stops (one was the border). Driver’s assistant was helpful in fixing my seat that was broken, and then allowing me to change seats. Left on the dot, arrived about 30 minutes late due to rush hour traffic (took the 11am bus).
Print your visa before the bus ride! This is paramount as you will give over your passport and visa at the beginning of the trip. Don’t be upset with the giving and getting your passport, taking your luggage off the bus only to put it back on, waiting around, etc. If you spoke Khmer, I’m sure they would be happy to explain the specific border policies to you. Since you don’t, that’s YOUR problem. Be patient, just do as you are told, you get where you are going in the end.
