Strong location close to Changi Village, hawker centres and the beach with many food options; however, not quick to the airport by public transport/taxi (30+ min ride).

8.6
Good, distinctive amenities for a glamping-like bus stay (driver's seat experience, bunk layout, large toilet/shower); family- and child-friendly features highlighted.
Value for Money

Perceived as a fun, unique experience but several guests felt the price was somewhat high (especially for locals) and expected slightly better cleanliness for the price.

Not directly reviewed as hotel F&B; plenty of nearby food options/hawker centres noted — assigned target rating due to lack of explicit hotel F&B comments.

Such a fun family experience
Pros:

This is such a fun glamping-like experience for families. The bus is so fun and my girls loved that it was pink and girly. The drivers seat is so fun. The layout of the bus is excellent too with bunk beds, a double bed and a large toilet with separate shower. Reasonable distance to change airport with local shops walking distance

The reception are really good at communicating, really friendly and even moved out things into our bus while we were out exploring

I would wholeheartedly recommend the bus collective.

Cons:

This didn’t really impact our stay but The outside table needs mending & cleaning.
While it was really lovely landscaped, the outdoors didn’t meet the cleanliness of the inside as the bus exterior was dirty, and there was some rubbish on the floor like an area full of carrier bags.

Overall, my grandkids love especially the Bus Driver seat.
Pros:

The location and unique features. Children love it.

Cons:

For the price we are paying, we expect a cleaner room. Overall still acceptable but with a little more attention to cleaning, It will even better. The toilet tap was shaky and needs to handle carefully,

Pros:

Fun for the kids and got an authentic local experience from the hawker center next door.

Amazing for bus lovers. Dream come true.
Pros:

Love that the location is right next to The Changi Village

Cons:

I suppose a latch on the door on the inside will be good. The main door is closed, it is automatically locked so no one outside can enter. However it is never locked from the inside. A gentle nudge on the handle and push will open the door from the inside meaning toddlers can let themselves out on their own easily. Slightly anxious when i need to shower and use toilet when toddlers are in the room. I was the only adult. Other than that, I love the bus and everything else. So clean and so nice.

Very special lodging in old busses - don't miss!
Pros:

Very special lodging in old busses. Very nice. Very good location close to the airport.

Cons:

Unfortunately for brakfast only cash or local credit cards are accepted - not helpful for tourists just arrived in Singapore. But there is a nice cosy breakfast café nearby (Italian flair)

Pros:

Very nice concept. My son loved it. Near to changi village and beach - just right beside. Rooms are clean and well done up.

Cons:

A little bit odd to charge a substantial amount more for parking - a bit of a budget airline add-on mentality to what's a generally beautiful property and surrounds. Interesting management decision - might be worth building it into the rate so it creates a more coherent vibe

Pros:

The bus for a room idea was great, the kids had a ball, and the adults found a lot of yummy food nearby! However, apart from small matters at the end of the day, overall the service was great, and we had a great stay!

Cons:

It would be nice to have a small play area/play ground/ pool for the little ones too, in the pics it looked like there was a lot of open area for play, but that wasnt quite the case when we got there, and there dint seem too much to do outside the bus for them... one more thing that was a little sore point was us was the parking charges for not only the guest, but also visitors... i mean after we pay so much for the room, is it really necesary to charge for parking within the facility?

Buscation in Changi
Pros:

All of the bus experience and near to hawker centre for food. Kids had a blast and family friendly.

Staff was very friendly and cleaners too.

Cons:

The entrance is around the bend and drivers keeps missing. Maybe add a sign and extra light before entrance?

Breakfast was ok, better at the hawkers.

Some parts of the bus are quite dusty especially at the front.

Pathways to room has rubble to had to carry bags.

Maybe a laundry room in the future.
