Down to earth is generally considered a compliment. If you have been labelled as this, you are likely perceived as being genuine rather insincere. You are likely "real" rather than fake or phoney. You are likely realistic rather than taken to flights of fancy. Down to earth is not having your head in the clouds. Down to earth is usually humble rather than arrogant.

It usually means that the person is laid back, has a pleasant personality, is easy to get along with, level headed, stable, and they are genuine when they present themselves to people. They don't pretend to be some thing they are not, and people feel comfortable around them. There is nothing complex about them, or put on to impress anyone. They are real people.

It means they dont think you are walking round with your head in the clouds, being all airy-fairy and living in a dream world

The term means humble.
A humble person is not proud and does not believe that they are better than other people.
