1Hello Claudia! Many thanks for sharing your experience and I'm sorry to hear that. Like we stated in the text, we already received a complaint about Catthienhai before and that's why we recommended to book with another company. However, after reading your experience we decided to change the text from a gentle warning to an explicit recommendation of not to book with them. Unfortunately, it happens from time to time that travellers need to wait more than 1 hour on the pick-up, but waiting 2 hours is unacceptable. Especially in combination with your other complaints. Regarding BookAway, I'm sorry to hear about the disappointing communication with them. I personally had very good experience with BookAway and I know they are determined to deliver the best customer service. In the past, they already removed companies from their platform after receiving too many complaints and I'm sure they take this case serious as well. I just sent them a personal email to make sure this case will get the deserved attention. Again, thanks for sharing your experience and I hope you still have a wonderful trip despite the inconvenience of this bus trip. Safe Travels! Maarten
