Could’ve been worse. Any 14h train ride I feel wouldn't be ideal, especially when you’re on the top bunk and you can barely see out the window. The beds weren’t soft beds (by Vietnam standards anyway) they just felt like hard mats but was able to get sleep anyway. Toilets were filthy. Make sure you bring your own toilet paper. Staff weren’t that helpful helping you board like they say they would but they do alert you when it’s your stop. Overall, a very average experience and definitely the maximum amount of time I would take the train.

Basic comfort And be careful with suitcases or bags We found one of our bags torn in two layers + a T-shirt inside. I'm waiting for customer support to get back to us, and I hope they'll compensate me.

They change the bus and location of the departure. WhatsApp service help a little but sometimes informations missing. Bus arrived 40 min before the real time and go 5 min after. Got sick on the bus because of AC. Also team was really friendly but can’t help you or answer any question. Finally i arrived to my destination. Rating on Vietnamese standard.

Overall it got us from A-B - the bus was about 45 minutes late! The wifi wasn’t working but they did have working USB ports and aircon 😊

Trip was as comfortable as a long bus journey can be. The pick up was a little early and the communication limited due to language however we got where we needed to be in good shape

+ Good service and the train was on time. - The ride was bumpy and we couldn‘t really sleep. The toilet could be modernised.

It was okay. We left 1 - 1.5 hours late. The bus stopped multiple times for some baggage and other passangers.

Perfect service, they had no more space for us in the bus we booked so we were outclassed in another one. We slept well and there are toilets inside which makes it Even better

The bus is correct. The space is small and old. The staff is not very attentive.
