How the Cosy Index works
Every hotel is scored by AI on the signals that actually make a stay cosy: small room counts, fireplaces and soaking tubs, natural materials, intimate design, and reviews where guests feel genuinely welcomed rather than processed. Scores run 0-10, calibrated against hundreds of hand-graded hotels; the very cosiest top out around 7.8, and clearing 7.0 puts a hotel in the Index. Browse the full rankings by city in our cosy hotel guides. Americans spell it cozy; the Index scores the feeling, not the spelling.
