According to customer reviews, the trip to Bilboa was very good. However, there were complaints about seat assignments for a 12-hour journey despite booking tickets in advance. This issue is considered unacceptable and has led some customers to express their dissatisfaction with Blablacar bus service.

BlaBlaBus Paris Bilbao recent customer reviews

We booked ticket month in advance, but we're assigned seat in the last row, even though tickets were available two days ago. This is completely in acceptable as we got the worse seats for a 12 hour journey. I will never travel with blablacar bus and won't recommend it to anyone
