205 Reviews
We were disappointed with the length of the trip. We stopped 6 times on a five hour drive. The last three stops were to drop off passengers and seemed to be out of the way from the route. However, the driver refused to drop us at our hotel.
The drive drove very fast and overtook cars on curves during torrential rain. There were many stops along the way with many delays. We sat in seats 3 & 4 and were blocked in by large packages. We couldn't get out at the rest areas due to the boxes.
The bus left 15 min late and made many stops to pick up people (5-10 min each) and for food (5-20 min each). None of the stops had a set time. The driver was very wreckless. He overtook other cars on blind curves, going uphill, etc. I never felt safe.
The express van was comfortable, but in this particular van, the seats did not recline, so it was a little difficult to sleep.
On the trip going:The driver was applying for Fast & Furious, the tire threads were balding beyond 2mm, the van was not maintained and the vent system was only intermittent. The return journey had a better van and a more stable driver.
I had a good trip overall but at one point our driver almost drove us right into some motorcyclists! The wifi didn't work and the a/c wasn't great. The seats were decently comfortable though.
A nice van and mostly on time. Addition of internet would be nice. Too many unscheduled stops to pick up Khmer passengers. We stopped 1 km from the station. This is a disruption, need to rearrange people and baggage. This is an express, no? Why can't ...
Left slightly after scheduled departure but arrived roughly on time in Phnom Penh - bus was immaculately clean and comfortable
