There are two departures from Hanoi: 6:45 arriving around 13:15, and 22:00 arriving around 4:30. The trip takes roughly 6-7 hours depending on traffic and road conditions, and the return bus leaves Sapa at 14:00.
All cabins are 90 x 180 cm pods with a privacy curtain: a Single Cabin (Upper Berth) is $17.50, a Single Cabin (Lower Berth) is $21 - closer to the ground, so less sway on mountain curves and easier to get in and out - and the Double Cabin (Lower Berth) at $27 suits two people sharing one berth. Note that if all upper-deck single cabins are sold out you'll be assigned a lower-deck cabin, and specific berths are assigned by the operator, not chosen at booking.
In Hanoi the bus picks up at 160 Tran Quang Khai Street, or at Noi Bai Airport for a $2 surcharge (Domestic Lobby Gate E5 or International Lobby Gate A, Column 10). In Sapa you're dropped at 426 Dien Bien Phu Street, which is also where the 14:00 return bus departs.
No. Once your booking is confirmed by email or WhatsApp, just give the driver your name at pick-up. Be at your pick-up point at least 15 minutes before the confirmed time - the bus will not wait - and read the operator's pick-up message carefully, as the confirmed time may differ slightly from the listed departure.
Reserve at least 3-5 days ahead - cabins sell out fast on weekends and in peak seasons (September-November, Christmas, and Tet). Availability isn't updated in real time, so if you book less than 24 hours before departure your seat may not be confirmable, in which case you get a full refund. You can pay now or later; payment is coordinated by email or WhatsApp after confirmation.
Maximum 25 kg of checked luggage plus 1 small carry-on per person, and keep valuables with you in the cabin. Eating is not permitted inside the bus.
Children under 4 travel free when sharing a berth with a parent, with one child per adult berth. Also pack a jacket in your carry-on - Sapa can be cold in the early morning even in summer.
Cancelling more than 48 hours before departure gets a refund minus a USD 2 per ticket handling fee, 24-48 hours before departure gets a 50% refund, and there is no refund within 24 hours of departure.
