Extremely expensive, and it was mandatory to choose the seat even for 2 and 9years old kids. Finally not refund for baby's seat which was not used.

Unreliable schedule, no one informing about the time of arrival of the bus. Put us at the end on an another bus, rude personal.

ViP Bus was actually a VIP bus (it's not uncommon that you book VIP amd get an old bus with tiny seats which would cost a fraction of the VIP). Unfortunately the driver honked even for vietnamese standards way too much (e.g. honking 4 times when one car on the other side of the street is driving normally) which didn't allow any of us to sleep. However, after telling and remining him he honked less. Other than that good driver and service, we arrived 30min before schedule.

Comfortable enough bus and journey with many stops for food and toilet breaks. Punctuality an issue however. Set off 45 mins late and arrived nearly 3 hours late.

The Drive was okay but I’m not sure if it’s better than the normal bus. We started earlier so really go on time. The chairs were very confortable but really not adapted to tall people. We got there very quickly. However, there was music on the whole time which was annoying and the driver drove the passengers to their addresses so once we arrived we drove for one hour just letting people go. I would recommend to look at google maps upon arrival to go out with other passengers. I managed to go out at the perfect time for the sunrise on the lake which was nice !

Pretty much great, but the bus arrive late at DaLat it's supposed to be 8 hour to arrive but it comes out to be 12 hours but overall everything is perfect.

Good communication via WhatsApp and we left and arrived more or less on time. There were sufficient breaks. The only negative points were being told a later time to come back after check-in by the local office and then being told via the messenger, i had to be there at the original time and may miss the bus (leading to useless stress since we left at the time indicating by the local office). The second point being the aggressive driving style of the driver. There was constant overtaking with zero visibility leading to many abrupt full stops due to oncoming traffic (which also had to sometimes do a full stop). I saw no other (long-distance) bus drive like this (we overtook many). Other than that, staff was curteous.

It was a good experience, the bus was very comfortable. The air conditioning was a little high so I recommend bringing warm clothes. The bus was delayed half an hour which wasn't that bad.

Other passages where drunk and talking loudly the entire ride. They didn't care about our complaints, neither did taking to the bus operators help. They where disturbing the sleep of the entire bus. The bus operator should have taken action!
