No Pickup at FAO
Appears that pickup at FAO for two people didn t happen though we were waiting there at the proper location with other distance bus travellers We were at the stop 45 minutes early and waited an extra hour Had to take Uber to the Faro main and only bus terminal to buy more tickets for a later departure Signage is non existent and the terminal has no status board All alsa buyers beware I m still out 50 and 4 hours They wouldn t give credit for the earlier bus not arriving

Benidorm to Calpe - nightmare
Benidorm to Calpe Family of 5 Online ticket system said return trip 15 15 adds up to 40 plus it wants passport details Decided to risk buying tickets on bus Driver said get tickets at ticket office Ticket office said they only sell tickets to airport After much cursing and arm waving by the driver he actually sold us the tickets 15 Alsa need to go to Berlin and see how public transport should be run Shocking

This is the worst experience I have
This is the worst experience I have EVER had with a company in my entire life The people working for Alsa is the rudest and most obnoxious people I have met This company should get an award in Guinness World Record book for being the worst company ever known to mankind You re more likely to find an elf at the end of a rainbow than finding a decent bus driver working for Alsa I highly recommend everyone to avoid this bus company at all costs if possible It will ruin your day or even your week Probably your whole vacation

The worst company I have ever travelled
The worst company I have ever travelled with Obnoxious drivers who don t speak a word of English confusing website with untrue information app partly in Spanish even if downloaded on an English phone account not possible to buy ticket from the driver but if so they want me to withdraw and handle dirty cash Absolute nightmare and ruined my holiday as instead in Benidorm I ended up in Valencia I wish I never have to deal with you again and will avoid you as much as possible And everyone else also should

If I could give 0 stars I would
If I could give 0 stars I would The only guarantee they can give is that your bus will leave late and there is no organisation of passengers boarding whatsoever Great opportunity for Hunger Games fans as boarding the bus feels like you re in the movie If you can afford it get the train You will honestly be so thankful you never had to experience the rudeness unprofessionalism and disastrous service that is Alsa Customer service will also gaslight you and claiming the bus ran smoothly with no hiccups If that s the case clear our ideas of smooth are about as different as our ideas of an acceptable bus service
