What people say

NOT RELIABLE - AVOID

NOT RELIABLE - AVOID - AVOID !!! We got informed 14 hours in advance that our 07h00 bus ride from Sapa to Hanoi airport was canceled. The compagne was offering to leave at 22h00 (4 jours after the email that we received while trekking) or at 14h00 the following day which was way to late for our international flight. We ended up stressing during 4 hours and finally booked a terrible little van filled with people and having to have my two backpacks on me and for 3 times the amount we had previously paid. Worst service ever, thank you for ruining our last evening in Sapa.

Dear Carole, Please understand that we are simply a ticketing agency and we are not responsible for the operation of the transportation service. Should the bus company decide to cancel the service and inform us, our responsibility is to notify the affected customers and provide a solution. In this case, we contacted you as soon as we received notice from the bus company and offered the alternative to travel on the bus operated later that day or the next day. Note that the alternatives were provided by the bus company depending on their operation. We understand that these alternatives may not be suitable to your travel plans but unfortunately we do not control the transportation service. We take note of your dissatisfaction with the bus company and will forward your review to the representative of the Passenger Carrier for their consideration. Best regards.

Got left stranded, no service whatsovever. Never again.

Got left stranded, no after sales service whatsoever. Definitely never again. We, a family of 6, booked a bus trip from Ha Tien to HCM via Baolau and got left stranded in Ha Tien as no one informed us that the bus leaves 30 minutes early. When asking why we didn't get an email about the change in the bus schedule, they had the audacity to blame all on us, when all it would have taken was an email, simple as that. They even lied about certain aspects of the dilemma. Really bad business behavior.

Dear Patrick, We are sorry to hear that you missed your bus from Ha Tien to Ho Chi Minh. In our confirmation email we clearly indicate that "Passengers are required to arrive at the point of departure at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Note that some bus companies will organize the transfer of passengers from the point of departure to the bus terminal by shuttle bus, therefore customers must show up in advance or risk missing the bus. Any case of lateness is out of our responsibility.". In the case of trips operated by Futa Bus, this information is also printed in the electronic ticket that we deliver to your email and can be used for boarding the bus. We firmly deny any claim that no one informed you that the bus could leave 30 minutes early as this information is indicated both in the confirmation email and the electronic ticket you received when your booking was confirmed. Best regards.

Baolau Veitnam 2-bed train berth

First booked my Veitnam 2-bed cabin Hanoi to Ninh Binh with 12go Asia They took my money (240euros) and no tickets after two weeks and numerous emails (no phone number). I could see the 2-bed cabin available on Baolu website, so booked and paid this company. Confirmation as immediate and the tickets arrived the next day. Several questions were emailed and Baulou responded within 24 hours. I have sent numerous emails to 12go Asia, and NO RESONSE. 12go Asia claim, I have their email blocked, etc. No so! Check Tripadvisor on 12go Asia...wish I had~!

Good service to book Transportation in Malaysia and others in Asia

The website is legit, modern and easy to use. I usually use their service to book transportation in Malaysia. The price is clear publicly on its website, reliable. it's seem like they use email to response as a main form of communication and they reply quickly, works well. Recommend using Baolau.

Reliable booking platform for Thailand

I've used Baolau several times in Thailand and it works just fine. I booked train and bus tickets for different destinations and I had no problem. I've decided to leave this review since they helped me out with a cancellation I had to do.

Trash service.

Trash service. Allows you to book without checking if there are seats available and then tells you way too late that all the seats have sold out. Use 12go.asia - at least they actually check their damn seat availability.

Booking without any problem 😉

This company serves various bus or train tickets, flights in Asia. We used them in Vietnam, Thailand and everything was without any problem. It is very fast booking process. Next time we use them againg. Thank you Baolau.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Worst company ever. If I could give 0 stars I would. Do NOT use. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! It took this company over 70 days to process a refund, and they still kept 30% as a cancellation fee (even though I cancelled within 3 hours of the original booking). They also told me they don't have enough staff to answer phones, plus they don't have enough staff to process refunds. I could understand a few days, but over 70 days?!? Come on! Again - do not use this company - awful!
