⭐ 4.5/5 Thanks to the Vexere app, I had a pretty good trip with HK Buslines. The bus was luxurious with a private cabin for each passenger, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Vexere’s hotline worked efficiently and showed responsibility toward customers. Cons: -0.5 star because the booking process on the app is too quick, making it easy to select the wrong step and impossible to go back, which could result in service cancellation. -0.5 star because drop-off is only at the company’s representative office, not at my home :) Pros: The bus departed and arrived on time. Pick-up was exactly at the registered location. Professional and helpful staff. Overall, I rate 4.5 stars for both the Vexere app and HK Buslines. I hope the app and the company will continue to improve to provide even more convenience for passengers. Best (Nhờ có app Vexere mà mình được trải nghiệm chuyến đi bằng ô tô của HK Buslines khá ổn. Xe sang trọng, mỗi người một cabin riêng, nhân viên phục vụ nhiệt tình. Hotline của Vexere làm việc hiệu quả, có trách nhiệm với khách hàng. Điểm trừ: -0.5 sao vì thời gian thao tác trên app quá nhanh, dễ chọn nhầm bước và không thể quay lại chỉnh, dẫn tới nguy cơ bị hủy dịch vụ. -0.5 sao vì khi trả khách, hãng chỉ trả tại văn phòng đại diện chứ không trả tại nhà riêng. Điểm cộng: Xe xuất bến và đến nơi đúng giờ. Đón khách tại đúng địa điểm đã đăng ký. Nhân viên chuyên nghiệp, nhiệt tình. Tổng thể, mình đánh giá 4.5 sao cho cả app Vexere và HK Busline. Hy vọng app và hãng sẽ ngày càng phát triển để mang lại trải nghiệm thuận tiện hơn nữa cho hành khách. Trân trọng)

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.

The informations about pick up locations etc are a little approximative, I asked Vexere where we could get to the big bus directly and at the end the location was still a mini van pick up that brought us to the bus but that is not a big deal. We left on time from Hanoi but made a very long break at the airport to wait some passengers I guess and arrived only 30 minutes late in Sa Pa so very good. There is no WC in the bus so think about it but you’ll do two 30min breaks in freeway area (3k dong to use the bathroom and they are very clean) and will also be able to buy a lot of different snacks and food. Very confortable seats ! Keep in mind that sometimes the quality of the roads is not that good so it can be very shaky. We booked the top 2 seats at the very back of the bus and you can feel the bus vibrating a lot, the lower seats just before these seats were much more confortable and we were able to use them as they were empty. Overall a very good journey :)

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.

The bus wasnt the most comfortable but the charging ports worked and the cleanliness was acceptable. The drivers though, they were incredibly friendly and accomodating, when we arrived in the morning in hanoi for a stop they even took me to breakfast and refused to let me pay my share. Absolutely loved the boys and even took pictures with one of them.

This is the best company to travel between Ha Long and Ha Noi. The bus driver was very punctual and extremely polite. He also was the safest driver on the road. There were no hidden fees and the company was very quick to respond to any questions I had! I highly recommend!

I had a very comfortable and safe journey. This bus supports foreigners very enthusiastically. Me and my friend were very happy for the staff's help. Vietnamese people are very friendly, very nice.

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 late for my flight but the bus company still waited for me. Thank you for your good support.

I had a wonderful experience traveling by this bus. The driver was friendly and drived safely, the ride was smooth, and the service was excellent. Thank you!

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.
