12 June 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The rooms are nice, with a fast and refreshing fan and toillet inside. This guesthouse is particularly good for backpackers who want to meet other travellers. As I was alone it was a great option. The staff were excellent and made me feel welcome from the first until the last moment I was there.

03 May 2012 ron would recommend this property

Liked: Most laid back guesthouse I've been in India. The atmosphere is different than anywhere else, and its the best place I've visited in india to meet new people.

Disliked: goa and anjuna beach feel fake to me, and in hindsite are one of my least favorite places in india. Evershine is a great guesthouse with an amazing atmosphere at a place I personaly don't like. (though I know many guests in evershine who wouldn't agree with me about goa... Its just my personal taste)

22 April 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was reasonably convenient to get to. The room and en-suite were large. There was a nice porch with chairs and swinging seats and a reasonable garden.

Disliked: The sheets seemed dirty and not changed from the last guest. The internet was slow, there was no breakfast provided. The rooms were quite hot. The staff were reasonably helpful but at times seemed a little stand-off-ish.

14 April 2012 Thomas would recommend this property

Liked: The owner Sebastiana (I'm guessing that's how her name is spelt) was very welcoming and friendly. As soon as I arrived she introduced me to the other guests, as she did with everyone else. This helps to create a really social atmosphere, it was really easy to meet people and chill out. It is probably the most social guesthouse I have ever stayed at.

Liked: Sebastiana was so helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived to the moment I left. I've never stayed in a more chilled out destination, after initially only booking for four nights I ended up staying for seven with sebastiana only too happy to help out. Good location, near good restaurants and 10 minutes from the beach and most importantly a great atmosphere, perfect for chilling out.

To sum up: best place I have stayed in in India, defintely recommended.

Disliked: Nothing really.

Liked: Let me begin with telling you the kind of person your reading this review from, That way the reader has a good idea of the kind of perspective Evershine guesthouse was viewed from. I am very fussy about the places I choose to stay in, I require my comforts, & there are things that I will not tolerate, you can say my tolerance is a lil lower then some, & im not afraid to say whats on my mind. I booked the superior double room at Evershine, at that point of my travels Evershine would have been the 3rd place I stayed in Goa, & I was already at my wits end at the false information owners state about the kind of accommodation provided & the attitude the owners give you during your stay, along with allowing there guests to live in filth, so mentally upon arrival I was not in a good place. I was welcomed by Sabastiana with a welcome drink & a smile that lit up Anjuna, she then showed me choices of rooms that I may prefer over the room I had already booked, what a wonderful turnaround my stay in Goa had taken, I was over the moon over the choices she gave me, every room was more beautiful then the nxt. I was so pleased with the atmosphere, the cleanliness & was extremely surprised I was getting a room of such standard at the price I was paying. Evershine was my light at the end of the tunnel. & That’s just the place, as for the ppl, I cant say enough about how helpful & lovely everyone was. I fell inlove with my room & the ppl looking after me, I didn’t wanto leave, infact instead of staying a week, I ended up staying over a month!, so I goto experience the up’s & down’s of Evershine, let me share some of them with you: A young lad fell ill from food poisoning at a a local restaurant in anjuna, sebastiana immediately had a driver take him to hospital, she then would go check in on him constantly, & bring him things he may need ( a change of clothes etc). She also made sure that all of his belongings were stored away safely until his return. That’s the kind of kindness & trust you cant pay for, not even at a 5star hotel. Your room is cleaned upon request by the cutest young woman you ever did see, NingaMa is her name & cleaning is her game….she has the kind of energy you always wanto be around, & so playful, im going to miss her dearly. The care that’s given & the trust you can feel gives Evershine the number one reputation it deserves, now I know why its rated the number one guesthouse in Goa. Sebastiana takes time to talk to & befriend her guests, she has the most wonderful laugh & a cheeky sense of humor that I enjoyed so very much. Sebastiana is sensitive about reading negative comments about her diamond in the rough guesthouse, & with all the work she puts into it, who can blame her. I didn’t know there were ppl out there more fussy then I was, but apparently so. To those ppl I say: “If you wanted red carpet treatment you should have booked a 5star hotel, they are more then happy to give you the service you require for a price you cant afford. There isn’t enough I could say about the place & the people of Evershine, So il stop here & let you come & experience it for yourself, you’ll know what I mean. This place was my haven, my home away from home & a breath of fresh air to me.I felt so grateful to have found it… & you will too…trust me.
