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."
Remake
Viral Fever remade the series in Tamil as Engga Hostel in January 2023 and in Telugu as Hostel Days in July 2023 which are also available on Amazon Prime Video.
