At 22:00, I took the Single Cabin (2nd floor) from Hanoi directly to Sapa without going through Lao Cai. 1. I changed my reservation time over the phone 3 days before using the bus. Communication was possible in English and changing the time was also easy. If you arrive 10 minutes before the bus departure time, you can comfortably receive a paper ticket. ++ 2. They say the bus sometimes comes late, but it came on time. 3. The facility was clean and odorless. I used the 2nd floor, and although the 1st floor has a slightly higher ceiling, I definitely recommend the 2nd floor because it is twice as expensive. + 4. The seat did not fully recline, but only went to about 160 degrees (there is space behind the seat back to place shoes, etc.). The length is not generous, so if you are taller than 175cm, you may need to bend your knees slightly. - 5. There was no bathroom, but we stopped at a rest area twice during the 5 hours to Sapa and were allowed to use the restroom. 6. Hand out a bottle of water to each person. WiFi was connected well. The biggest disappointment was that while going to Sapa, the power on the bus was cut off, so it was impossible to charge my phone even though there was a USB plug. I don't know what it's like during daytime hours. There's no TV, but that's okay since I didn't plan on watching it in the first place. - 7. A guide who could speak English took the bus with us and accompanied us to the final destination. They made announcements right before departure and arrival, and especially when we first got on, they even moved our seats to a slightly larger space (but they didn't move us to the first floor, where the price was different). +++ 8. Even though I rode on the second floor, I didn't feel much of a rattle while driving and I didn't get motion sick. There was a protection device to prevent the seat from rolling over while sleeping (each seat also had a curtain for privacy). + 9. Departure at 22:00 and arrival at 03:00 the next day, but they allowed me to sleep on the bus until 06:00. ++ The service was perfect, to the point where it was very, very disappointing that this was a bus company that only operated during the day. Since the bus company (Sao Viet) returning from Sapa to Hanoi was the worst, it may look better, but if I go to Sapa in the future, I think I will check the timetable of this bus company (Sapa Express) first.

I chose HK Bus again after booking a bus to Sapa. The drivers were very friendly. The bus company supported a transfer when I suddenly requested. My friend forgot my things on the bus after being dropped off at the airport, I quickly called the driver and surprisingly the driver did not blame me and was willing to wait for me to get my things back. The driver's interface was quite confusing but extremely friendly. Thank you HK BUSLINES for making my trip more wonderful. I would like to thank the driver and the bus company. I will still choose HK BUSLINES for future trips.

Very comfortable sleeper bus. This was my first time on one of these busses it was great! When reserving a seat it appears that two are together on the right side and one single on the left. In reality, there are 3 evenly spaced rows. You're not sleeping right next to someone.

The bus ride was very comfortable. I saw the guys riding day and night without getting enough sleep, which was bad for their health, but they were still enthusiastic and cheerful during the trip. They encountered all sorts of situations. The day we went, it rained and saw electric poles falling and blocking them. The drivers worked together to temporarily build a car to pass by but found this job so miserable 🤣 I hope the driver raises their salary to have more motivation haha

be kind and punctual. The latest G8 bus was clean, well-charged, and comfortable. However, it was uncomfortable when I stretched my legs. On the way back to Hanoi, I took a slightly older car than the latest bus. The slope of the seat was also too convenient because I could stretch my legs freely. However, USB charging was not good. Cleanliness was not better than the latest bus. Both cars have distinct strengths and weaknesses. The bus company's work process was quick and kind. I want to praise all the staff who responded. I am very satisfied. It is a very good experience.

I booked a car with 3 rows of beds, but it seemed like there weren't enough passengers, so the bus company transferred it to me in a cabin, which is more comfortable and spacious. Like so much. The car runs fast, the room is spacious, with good air conditioning. The 4-hour trip from Sapa to Vietnam has a very beautiful view on the highway.

In the afternoon, I got a bus ticket that ran very well. In the afternoon, when I booked tickets A1 and B1, the staff put me near the back of the bus even though I arrived very early. This part of the bus doesn't have curtains and I'm in the sun so I called the operator so I could change seats. When I arrived in Hanoi, I switched to another car from this company and enjoyed it very much. The car was newer, comfortable and clean. Driver and staff are also enthusiastic.

Okay. Nma told me to get off at the Central bus station and take me all the way to the 6th intersection. Drop me off near the place I requested =))). Because I don't have a car, don't have anyone to pick me up and drop me off such a long way and I'm broke so I'm picky. I hope next time the bus company will note down the drop-off locations. If they can't take me to the specific drop-off location as requested by the customer, please consult with the customer to see if it's okay to drop me off near that area. The car is smooth and comfortable.

Definately this bus company is the best! I highly recommend! If I knew it earlier I would been used only this company. Worth the price! They provide a bottler of water, be seated in the reserved seat position(because some company cannot, regardless you booked for a seat), some staff can speak Eng, clear announcement in Eng for about rest area like how long, how many times, what time on and on. So specious seat!you can actually book one seat for 2ppl. My partner and I stayed at one seat regardless we booked 2 seat separately.

I took a sleeping bus on my way here..Well, it was a fun experience, and I came comfortably. However, the driving time was too stuffy on the road, so I found a limousine bus. I heard that the driving time was 5 hours, but I didn't make a lot of honking sounds.. My goal is to achieve it. If it's daytime and you don't have to sleep, it's highly recommended. But the usb charging of the air conditioning/seat is random. It would be satisfactory to check that, but isn't that the same for sleeping buses:)

Bus driver can speak English. Good for us foreigners. However some of the driving patterns make me feel insecure, for example, overtaking cars when going up the hill with no vision of incoming vehicles, Sometimes hands off driving. Texting, calling during driving.

I was a bit hesitant booking the sleeper bus because I have heard many horror stories about them, however the ride was very pleasant. We bought the double bed and even though I am 195cm high, the journey was comfortable and I was able to sleep most of the time (although I couldn’t fully stretch my legs. I would need another 20-30cm for that). The bed was wide and the two of us could fit there quite nicely. There were two stops along the way to Sapa (cca every 2 hours) for bathroom and snacks. The bed was clean and the bus driver honked only occasionally. I really recommend this bus. And if you are taller like me, I recommend paying extra for the better bed.

I flew from Cam Ranh to Noi Bai, booked a Green bus from NB to Sapa, however the plane was delayed so I arrived nearly 1 hour late compared to the booking time. Even though the bus driver was still happy to wait, the bus did not pick up passengers. along the way. The operator (Thao) is very dedicated and caring. Next time I have the opportunity to return to Sapa, I will continue to choose Green bus company. It's my first time going but I feel secure and satisfied.

The car is beautiful, clean, and the equipment on the car is almost new. The driver drives safely and has a gentle attitude 😇 The bus is a bed but is also suitable for tourists because there is a very cute English-Vietnamese tour guide, Anh Phuc, on board. In addition to providing information about Hanoi, Sapa is also very humorous and witty, picking guests up and packing thoughtfully. The above things have made my experience of traveling to Sapa more meaningful that I did not have this feeling when traveling through other bus companies before. Thanks Green Travel

The ladies at the office in Hanoi have clearly been trained well in customer service as they were very friendly and helpful. The bus stopped twice in 6hrs which I feel was appropriate and the driver told us in English how many minutes we’d be stopping for (we haven’t had this anywhere else in Vietnam so we were surprised!). They even dropped us off at our hotel in Ha Giang which I wasn’t expecting as the ticket said we’d be dropped off at their office. I would say this is a very good company to travel with.
