Ha, I was right :D;  look what wikipedia says:

Gemütlichkeit (German pronunciation: [ɡəˈmyːtlɪçkaɪt]  ( listen)) is a German abstract noun that has been adopted into English.[1] Its closest equivalent is the word "coziness"; however, rather than merely describing a place that is compact, well-heated and nicely furnished (a cozy room, a cozy flat), Gemütlichkeit connotes the notion of belonging, social acceptance, cheerfulness, the absence of anything hectic and the opportunity to spend quality time.

Here's more:

I wonder if that word is related to "gezelligheid" or "gezellig" which is a Dutch word. All of these words (Dutch, Swedish) look quite similar to gemütlich or gemütlichkeit.

I'll bet it is. :)

Gosh, Chrissi, I hope that drug doesn't make you look like him.  ;D  ;)

Yep, you're right. 'Gezellig' is the same as 'gemütlich'.
