We traveled from Mai Chau to Ha Noi with this company and had a great experience. They contacted us the day before via WhatsApp to confirm the pickup location, which we really appreciated. The driver arrived on time the next day, and the ride was very comfortable and pleasant. Reliable and stress-free!
Overall it was good, we were picked up on time and arrived near enough to when we expected. The seat belts were not working on the back seats, and the driving is always a little crazy so we felt a bit uneasy. On arrival we were all shouted at to get off the bus and get in a car which was four of us with luggage to go into town but we arrived in the end. Wed changed our hotel and I had notified them two days before but we were taken to the original one.
It was ok for a shorter journey, not sure it would have been ok if it was a full day route.
Driver was on time. It was too many people in one car, so it was not comfortable. Our suitcase was put on top and got dirty. The safety belt didn't work.
Driver forgot to pick us up then pretended to main office he’d come and we hadn’t been outside waiting (we certainly had)
After over an hour and a half waiting we contacted operator and they put us on another bus an hour later but the delay made us miss a connecting bus (we’d left a 2.5hr buffer between them as well)
Shame as we’ve had two previous very good journeys with this company
VIP class is a joke.
We were crammed into the two front seats with barely any room. It’s lucky I was travelling with my wife and that we’re both slim. Be prepared to get very intimate with your travel partner or not even fit at all if you’re a larger size.
On the plus side we got front row seats to the insanity that is the driving. Overtaking multiple trucks going downhill on a twisty mountain road in thick fog? That’s just what I’m looking for when getting the bus, near death experiences.
The bus did arrive on time though we had to board half an hour early.
