Archika Khurana of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave season 1, a rating of 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "All said, it’s a light-hearted binge-watch series with a motto of ‘why can’t girls have all the fun’."<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |title=Girls Hostel Season 1 Review : An interesting sneak peek into the girl's hostel life |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/girls-hostel/season-1/seasonreview/81083762.cms |access-date=2023-07-11 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> Season 2 received 3.5 stars out of 5 and Khurana wrote "This season tackles some serious issues—right from water crises management to eve-teasing—which are depicted in a lighter manner."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Girls Hostel Season 2 Review : A promising second season with some feisty acts |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/girls-hostel/season-2/seasonreview/81083846.cms |access-date=2023-07-11 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

''Girls Hostel 3.0'' received mixed reviews from viewers and critics. Some appreciated the relatable portrayal of hostel life and the exploration of relevant issues such as gender fluidity, expectations from parents, and anxiety at a young age. The performances of the main cast members, including Ahsaas Channa, Srishti Shrivastava, and Parul Gulati, were praised for their natural and convincing portrayal of student life. The remaining cast members play their respective roles as per the script, with some characters bordering on caricatures. While the series attempts to delve into relevant themes, some subplots and conflicts are resolved too quickly, resulting in an incomplete and purposeless narrative. Furthermore, the absence of family backgrounds for the characters, which were emphasized in previous seasons, raises questions about the show's consistency and the audience's investment in the characters' personal lives.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-09 |title=Girls Hostel 3.0 trailer: SonyLIV series promises more drama, chaos and confusion as the girls try to build a life of their own |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/web-series/girls-hostel-3-0-trailer-sony-liv-trailer-8259040/ |access-date= |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-12-03 |title=‘Girls like Jo exist but such characters are not explored often on the screen’: Girls Hostel 3.0 actor Srishti Shrivastava |url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/entertainment/girls-like-jo-exist-but-such-characters-are-not-explored-often-on-the-screen-girls-hostel-3-0-actor-srishti-shrivastava-9644831.html |access-date= |website=Moneycontrol |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Girls Hostel Season 3 Review : The medical girls' gang is back to entertain with their relatable struggles |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/girls-hostel/season-3/seasonreview/95692630.cms |access-date=2023-07-11 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>
