==Reception==
Jessica Xalxo, writing for RollingStone India observed: "Instead of confronting the very real issues that students are faced with, Hostel Daze trivializes them to the point of tradition, normalization and acceptance. And in its portrayal of the truth lies an endorsement that feels both endemic and dangerous, beyond the trappings of the genre."<ref>{{cite web |last=Xalxo |first=Jessica |title='Hostel Daze' Review: A Show That Could Stand to Grow Up |website=RollingStone India |date=17 December 2019 |url=https://rollingstoneindia.com/hostel-daze-review-a-show-that-could-stand-to-grow-up/ |access-date=19 January 2021}}</ref>
