User Reviews

Hrushiv checkpoint receives predominantly negative feedback from travelers, with users reporting extremely long wait times and inadequate facilities. The majority of reviews (5 out of 6) rate the experience at 1 or 3 stars, reflecting significant frustration with border crossing conditions. Multiple travelers document waiting 5-13 hours even with relatively small queues of 3-6 buses, suggesting severe inefficiency in processing. One review from July 2025 describes waiting 13 hours with 13 buses ahead on entry to Poland, and another 5.5 hours with only 3 buses ahead for return to Ukraine. Users consistently highlight infrastructure problems including non-functional toilets due to lack of water and broken beverage vending machines. The checkpoint operates with only two lanes for vehicle processing despite heavy traffic, creating bottlenecks during peak hours. Travelers advise arriving prepared for extended waits and recommend checking real-time queue information before attempting to cross. The staff receives criticism for slow service and lack of communication regarding estimated crossing times. While one December review notes buses can pass through in under 4 hours during off-peak periods, the general consensus indicates Hrushiv remains one of the most challenging border crossings, with conditions deteriorating during summer months.
