Hello fellow backpackers!
An honest review from two girls who “survived” a 13 hour bus ride (Dalat - Hoi An) on VIP 32 Cabin (3 rows, single cabins):
- You get what you pay for. It’s not a luxsry ride it’s not panoramic ride, it’s an effective ride
- The staff were friendly, but they didn’t know much English, so you have to be patient. The first announcement was recorded and played in English too, so we knew what was going on.
- We had one longer break at the beginning of the ride (30 minutes, food and toilet) and another shorter one at around the middle of their journey (toilet). The bus stopped to load packages and other passengers, so you could probably get additional toilet breaks if needed.
- At the beginning of the drive we wrote down our Whatsapp number and somebody (driver?) contacted us and answered all of our questions in English.
- Vietnamese roads are bumpy and there are many bends. Hoking is a way of communication and NOT a driver’s fancy. It’s worse at the beginning and the end of the drive, since city roads are busier. It obviously also depends on the driver.
- It’s probably a good idea to wear long sleeves and socks, as it gets quiet cold, even with the AC off.
- There is a USB port as well as a light in each cabin, however they only work in some cabins.
Our only complaint is that the seats didn’t feel very clean - if that’s a problem for you, bring a towel to lay on.
All in all, the main point of the ride is to get you from point A to point B and in our case it did that punctually. Any rest you get is a bonus, you can stretch out better than on a normal bus (one of us is 175 cm tall and with a smaller carry on bag stretching out would have been easy).
Manage you expectations and you’ll be fine. Save travels!

The worst experience. Overbooked the bus, so asked us if we wanted to get an earlier one. Then was an hour late to picking us up. Ended up getting onto a random bus, and they never stopped for food or the toilet the entire time.

我们迟到了两个小时，期间还不断受到维修的干扰，这感觉有点奇怪。

Sind mit zwei Stunden Verspätung angekommen, der jüngst immer wieder für Reparaturen gehalten was sich etwas komisch angefühlt hat

提前到达，中途停靠站数量适中，座位舒适，抵达后还提供从汽车站到酒店的免费接送服务。

Poor attempts at communication from staff. Bus left an hour late. Pick up was in a random location on the side of the road. The seat/bed I had was small, and I was unable to sit up. I might have just been unlucky as I was at the back, on the bottom. But otherwise coach was comfortable enough.

15 小时的巴士旅程真是太棒了！非常井然有序，在理想的时间停了几次，让乘客上厕所。座椅超级舒适，有 2 个 USB 接口可供充电。座椅实际上不能升起，只能放平以便睡觉，但仍然很舒适。

As good as a 15 hour bus journey can be! Very organised, stopped a few times for toilet breaks at ideal times. Seats were super comfy and had 2 USB points for charging devices. The seats don't really go up, just extend down flatter for sleeping but still comfortable.

The drivers were on time however rushed us getting onto the bus at 6:30 when we were due to leave at 7. When we were on the road, the drivers were talking very loudly to each other, and took phone calls on speaker, which prevented sleep. Drivers were honking while people were trying to sleep, and they took corners very fast which threw passengers around their bunks. We ended up arriving at 5am instead of 7am.

I will say the management was really good. They contacted us to tell us where to go and where able to answer any questions. The waiting point in da lat was clean including the bathroom. The reason the review is low is due to the driving. The driver was driving super fast what meant we where getting thrown around a lot. It made my mum unable to sleep and my sister having bruises from being rocked around. Even with stops this resultef in is arriving at 5:30 rather then 7:00.
