Hm. I think this can really go a bunch of different ways depending on the context. The way you've phrased things here, you're right, it does seem like perhaps this person isn't the best friend for you. But it could just be that whatever culture that person is a part of is just exclusive by nature. Sometimes that happens. That has nothing to do with you. Also, maybe that person is ashamed or embarrassed of their own house for some reason and therefore don't like having company. Also, not your problem. To your last point, if they don't seem excited to see you, yes it could be that they aren't excited. It could also be that they don't typically show their emotions a lot, or it's just hard to read them in particular.
All in all, if they're not showing active interest in being your friend, you don't necessarily need to push it. You don't need to make an effort to be friends with someone who doesn't treat you nicely. They should be excited to see you and be around you if you are friends. Maybe you guys will just be friendly and not friends. This person may not actively dislike you but from what you described, they don't sound very inviting either. But perhaps, that is just how they are and it has nothing to do with you. Maybe just talk to them about it, one on one. Voice your concern. That is the only way you could get a clear picture of the situation.
