10/10. A lot of passengers were instructed to open their luggages. They dont allow 3 bottles of perfume. I didnt understand the reason for openning the luggages due too language barrier. I told them that i have 1 perfume and 2 bottles of skin care. i loved the ride. 2nd class is very comfy. Food is sold inside the train

5/5

Fantastic
Train would really depart on time so dont be late. Easy to find your gate number and seat number. seat arrangements: Seats were comfortable luggage space: There were enough space for our luggages.

4/5

Fantastic
ease of boarding: easy ease of booking on Klook: easy luggage space: very minimum, you can store some smaller items at the overhead storage section. Local staffs are quite helpful when you can't find place to store your luggage. seat arrangements: random Just bring your passport, when you scan it at the entrance, the ticket data will be retrieved immediately. I give 4 stars because we can't choose our seats.

very convenient. we enjoyed our trip.

4/5

Fantastic
seat arrangements: seats were comfortable, but I’m starting to think I may want to book tickets off of Trip.com given that this is now the second time that my seat preferences were not honoured- it would’ve been nice if we could at least be seated together. seats were otherwise comfortable, and the service was tendered- would be great if KLOOK offered better clarity and details on the seating arrangements as I jumped on a train thinking we were sitting together only to find that we got 2 aisle seats- they were at least next to each other, but again, some clarity would’ve gone a long way

4/5

Fantastic
Great way to travel - we sat in second class and it was fine, although a bit of a bum fight for storing luggage! Recommend looking online ahead of travel time if you want to order fresh hot food to be delivered to one of the station stops and brought to your seat. Also plenty of options for snacks brought on cart. Be prepared to show passport and have all bags scanned to enter train station and to get onto platform. Also recommend researching onward travel ahead of time so you come out of the right exit if you have ordered a DiDi car to collect you - taxi touts will try to take you to their car and it’s not easy to get to the car park once you are out of the station as you have to go back through security.

4/5

Fantastic
We booked 1st class several days before hand but got allocated seats in different rows. Lucky the passengers were kind enough to swap seats. The train ride was very good and mostly quiet, comparable to many high speed trains in Europe.

5/5

Fantastic
the booking process easy, the usage also easy, just show your passport.
