Dissatisfaction with/to/about?

I guess there must be some subtle differences between the usages.

"Dissatisfaction to" / "Dissatisfaction with" / "Dissatisfaction about" (is it ok to use about?)

Could anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Hi Yamaha, and welcome to the forums.

Don't use "dissatisfaction to."

You are dissatisified with something, usually. "With" has a target -- a person, a hotel, an outcome.

Take "angry" instead of "dissatisfied."

I'm angry with you, with the hotel -- it's specific, and someone has "done" something.
I'm angry about the bad weather ruining our plans. The weat
