I wasn't dropped off the place in my ticket. It was far away from the city, and I needed to take a taxi. I picked my hotel close to the real drop off place, so it was really annoying. There was lot off people sleeping in the floor and passing by continuesly touching me even though I had curtains on. Bus was also around 1h late. Free water onboard.

Fairly comfortable. Typical sleeper bus experience, stopping every so often and turning lights out, making too much noise

Our trip from Tam Coc to Hue was okay. The bus was a bit overbooked and the staff were quite unfriendly, but it was clean. Unfortunately there was no toilet on the bus on this 11hr journey, as stated on the booking though. The communication when the bus stops for breaks was non-existent.

Very rocky due to driving / roads. Didn’t get much sleep but I don’t sleep well on any public transport. Would do it again, bed itself comfy and had privacy. Would have liked a bit more notice on arrival. Woke up and left within 5 mins and would have liked more time. Initially had time set for a wake up but we arrived very early.

We booked a sleeper VIP for some comfort on our way from Ninh Binh to Hue. The bus was over 1 hour late and when we got to the bus with our big bags they didn't put them under the bus they just threw them on the beds we were sleeping in. Then to top it all off me and my partner were in the front 2 cabins and the driver and his work colleague start smoking. Which is the height of ignorance when you have a bus load of people who are planning to sleep but yet have to inhale smoke from the driver. When I said it to one of the guys they kind of laughed it off and said the driver needed to smoke to stay alert. I think if you have someone who is a driver working for your company they should be told if they want to smoke then stop the bus and have a smoke. We would of preferred the bus stopped 20 times for a smoke then to inhale the smoke for most of the long trip. I nearly lost my shit.
They obviously had the bus full of deliveries too because that's why our bags weren't put under the bus as normal and many stops unloading stuff off. They had stuff stacked up the back blocking the toilets. Look I get every country has their ways and these buses are a bit of a roller coaster in South East Asia but the smoking is the right on other passengers who are trying to sleep. Anyways overall got there on time but I'll try avoid this company the rest of our trip if we can

Experience was very poor indeed:
1) we booked two tickets, but only one person was on the list; felt lucky we were both allowed to travel
2) we were pick-pocketed and relieved off our cash and card
3) beds too short for adult size (176cm)
4) other passengers were vomitting

We order a Limousine Bus and a sleeping bus was presented. I had a mail that said so before the trip but for a sleeping bus the price of the company was twice of what other companies offered. I had a poor compensation but I had to go back and forth with the travel agency.
The bus was full I had to slept between two people… Bad,bad,bad experience

Standard sleeper bus - no curtains. Bus was on time and left promptly. Man who was boarding us was very angry and strict but we found that funny..
