NO, you cannot keep part of the deposit, just because an extra unauthorized person was staying there. You must prove that your tenants (or their guests) caused physical damage to your property that you had to repair, or that they did not pay you some or all of your rent. In other words, how were you or your property damaged by an extra person staying there? Sometimes Ts violate leases in some minor ways, that don't result in extra costs or losses for the LL.
