Haunted Hotel Season 2 dropped all eight episodes on Netflix on October 9, and the finale “The Visit” is already drawing emotional reactions. A claim circulating among early viewers says the finale has reached 9.7/10 on IMDb. That number should be treated as an unverified early snapshot unless the episode’s own IMDb listing displays the score and vote count.

Netflix’s official media information lists Season 2 as releasing in the United States on October 9, 2026. The season has eight episodes, including “Ghost Day Out,” “Astral Esther,” “Dante Crowe,” “The Concierge,” and finale “The Visit.” Netflix Media Center and Netflix Tudum are the primary sources for release information.

Is “The Visit” rated 9.7/10 on IMDb?
We could not independently confirm the exact 9.7/10 figure from the publicly accessible IMDb pages checked for this report. IMDb ratings are dynamic, and scores can change quickly when only a small number of viewers have voted. A claim about an episode’s rating is most useful when it includes the direct episode page, the rating shown at the time, and the number of votes.
Check the IMDb episode list for Haunted Hotel and its ratings page. The show-level score is not the same as a finale-specific score, so don’t treat one as proof of the other.

Critics are responding to the season’s mix of comedy and heart
While episode-level IMDb numbers need a direct check, professional reviews provide a clearer early snapshot. Rotten Tomatoes’ Season 2 page lists three critic reviews at the time of writing: Collider scored it 8/10 and But Why Tho? scored it 8.5/10, while Mama’s Geeky also published a review. Critics have highlighted the show’s inventive scares, comedy, expanded lore, and emotional character moments. These critic scores are separate from IMDb user ratings.
See the live Rotten Tomatoes Season 2 page for updated review counts and scores. IMDb’s Season 2 coverage also discusses the season’s character work and emotional focus.

What fans are saying about the finale
The Season 2 finale discussion on Reddit includes viewers reacting to the flashbacks to Nathan’s life and the emotional turn of “The Visit.” These are individual fan reactions, not a representative survey, but they help show why the finale is becoming a conversation point alongside its reported score.

Why early episode scores can be misleading
- Vote count matters: a high score based on very few votes can move significantly.
- Episode score vs. series score: IMDb displays these separately; make sure the number belongs to “The Visit.”
- Check the timestamp: streaming-day ratings are snapshots, not permanent rankings.
- Separate critic and audience ratings: Rotten Tomatoes critic scores and IMDb user scores use different systems.
