Cómo es

Question

When is "cómo es" used? I keep seeing it as a correct option but what scenario it would be used in hasn't been specified.

Hola Dana-keli
To use "¿cómo es / son ...? in Spanish you need to express  What is / are ... like? 
Here is a lesson about cómo and you can see some examples on the second part of the lesson. 
Here are some other extra examples:

¿Cómo es tu novio?
Mi novio es muy simpático.
What's your boyfriend like?
My boyfriend is very friendly.
 
¿Cómo son las habitaciones de tu casa?
Son un poco pequeñas.
What are the bedrooms in your house like?
They are a bit small.
