Why do you think so?  It gives a String.  But you don’t do anything with
it.  You have to direct it to stdout to see it on the command line

System.out.println(guests);
No need even to call toString, println does that for you.

| public class Guests extends ArrayList <Guest>

Don’t do this.  Prefer composition over inheritance (google for this).
