Sebastiana is amazing. For the price, nothing better - great location, clean, super-relaxing atmosphere. Would stay again for sure.

The hostel is a few minutes ride by scooter away from Anjuna beach. The room was clean and comfortable. I upgraded the room to be able to use the A/C, which was very pleasant during the night. The Guesthouse has an area where you can hang out and meet other backpackers. Sebastiana (owner) was very friendly and always helpful. There are scooters in front of the hostel for hire. I recommend to check first, if all lights, indicators etc. are working before starting to ride.

Excellent guest house, wonderful and friendly atmosphere, pleasant stay, Mrs Sebastiana is fun to talk to. I love the fact that everyone gets together to share their travel stories etc. Located very close to Anjuna beach, the location is perfect. 5 stars!!

Evershine in off season is for sure the only place you will find any kind of backpacker social life which is especially important when travelling solo, i had a good time here but moved round the corner as it was cheaper! That didn't stop me coming back round in the evening to chill for a beer with the guys staying at Evershine and it was really cool that i was still welcome! thanks for my stay here!

Sebastiana is the best hostess! We had the most amazing time in Anjuna and felt right at home at Evershine. Perfect location just a short walk from the beach, the Wednesday market and a bunch of delicious restaurants. Wish I could have stayed a month at Evershine!

This has been an amazing experience every time we have come here. Sebastiana was a lovely host, i couldn't help but hug her to say goodbye. She is always interested in having a conversation with you and helping you with what ever you need from finding bus tickets to renting scooters for the day. Their is a nice porch to hang out and meet new travelers and forge friendships, recommended this place to all i know going to Anjuna, will continue to do that. Down side for dorms is only one bathroom.

The place is absolutely amazing! It has great atmosphere is close to the beach the owner is very kind and helpful :) The rooms are clean and there is always hot water in the bathroom (although in Goa u rather dream of cold water:) ) There are hammocks in front of the rooms so it's really nice to stay out of the room and intergrate with other travelers :) The only thing we regret is that we stayed there for such a short time!

We were really excited to stay at Evershine based on the reviews but it didn't live up to the hype. The location is a 15 minute walk to the nearest enjoyable beach, and the staff wasn't as friendly as we were expecting. If it wasn't for the good group of other travelers we met, we wouldn't have enjoyed it at all. We cut our 4 nights to 2. Anjuna is very commercialized. Would recommend Arambol in north, just show up. And at 1050 rupees, offered airport pick up is more expensive than prepaid taxi.

We had a good stay 3 girls travelling together and living in the dorm. It is small, but the other people were enjoyable and nice to be around. Atmosphere were really good and the location was okay.

An exceptionally wonderful place; with an even more exceptionally wonderful staff. My stay was delightful. Undoubtedly, hospitality is this guest house's strongest point; from the owner to the cleaner - few words can describe their kindness. The only negative aspect that I can think of is that it is a little bit far from the beach; but that matters little, for I am sure, I will return again and again and again. Besides, renting a scooter is most fun!

Very clean rooms but not very close to the beach. Its close to the ocean but to get to the actual beach you have to walk maybe 15 minutes more. Staff was very nice. No common room which made it hard to make new friends... All in all it was a great hostel and I would surely stay here again.

We can't think of a single negative thing to say about this hostel. The owner is outrageously helpful and friendly, at no extra cost she booked us bus tickets and helped us find a new place to stay when our booking ran out. Facilities are good and the optional dorm atmosphere is perfect for meeting people. Clean, close enough walk to the beach, free wifi. We really can't express how wonderful this place is, my friend and I are repeat customers. You really get your bang for your buck here.

We had a nice and relaxing stay at the Evershine Guesthouse. The owner was a very helpful woman who took great care of us and always made sure we were feeling well. We really came to appreciate this because we had to go to the hospital one evening and very much felt taken care of by her..
