Verdict

Hotel site with one stale antivirus flag and a third-party booking redirect

imperialhotel.vn presents itself as the official site for The IMPERIAL Hotel, a beachfront property in Vung Tau, Vietnam. The page shows standard booking buttons that send visitors to book-directonline.com for reservations. A single antivirus engine flagged the domain as phishing in an older report, but no other malicious indicators appear.

Treat the site as low-risk for ordinary visitors, but verify any booking confirmation directly with the hotel and avoid entering payment details on the redirected booking page if the URL looks suspicious.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

imperialhotel.vn presents itself as the official site for The IMPERIAL Hotel, a beachfront property in Vung Tau, Vietnam. The page shows standard booking buttons that send visitors to book-directonline.com for reservations. A single antivirus engine flagged the domain as phishing in an older report, but no other malicious indicators appear.

Antivirus detection and site content

ESET reported the domain as phishing in a saved observation that is now considered stale. No other engines flagged the site, and the page itself displays the hotel name, location, and social-media links without deceptive overlays.

The site contains visible 'BOOK NOW' and 'BOOK' buttons that point to the external booking engine book-directonline.com, plus links to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Technical versus operator risk

The stale ESET detection is the only technical signal. No malware, credential-harvesting forms, or forced redirects are observed on the page itself.

The operator provides a physical address, phone number, and domain-specific email, and the booking flow is handled by a known third-party engine rather than an unknown payment processor.

Why the score is 82

1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Verify before you trust

We couldn't gather enough signal for a confident verdict — tread carefully.

  1. Find the company through independent channels

    Search for the business on LinkedIn, an official registry (Companies House, OpenCorporates, SEC EDGAR), or via the brand's known social channels. If you can't trace a real entity, that itself is a red flag.

  2. Never pay by crypto, gift card, or bank transfer

    If the site forces an irreversible payment method, stop. Cards and PayPal give you chargeback protection — irreversible methods don't.

  3. Ask the forum

    Post the URL in the MalwareTips Scam Reports forum — experienced members often recognise patterns immediately.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is imperialhotel.vn a scam or is it safe?
imperialhotel.vn has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). The saved checks found no material threat, but the report did not meet every requirement for the highest Safe tier. Use normal caution and independently verify the operator before irreversible payments or unusually sensitive actions.
Is imperialhotel.vn safe to use?
imperialhotel.vn has a Safety Score of 82/100 (Low Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Normal caution; verify sensitive actions.
Has imperialhotel.vn been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged imperialhotel.vn, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is imperialhotel.vn on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — imperialhotel.vn is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
Does imperialhotel.vn have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — imperialhotel.vn presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by ZeroSSL GmbH · ZeroSSL ECC DV SSL CA 2, valid for another 59 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is imperialhotel.vn hosted?
imperialhotel.vn resolves to an IP operated by SUPER ONLINE DATA JOINT STOCK COMPANY in VN (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the imperialhotel.vn report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on September 25, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about imperialhotel.vn has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
