What does homely mean?

While it can be used to say something is 'comfy' or 'unpretentious', the word is used to say that something is 'not good looking', 'unrefined', 'plain', or 'unattractive'. As such it is not generally acceptable as a compliment to a person. So you are correct in that it is not a compliment.
