Welcome to the forum. It's from the verb haber. Haber + past participle = one of the perfect tenses. In this case, has is the 2nd person singular present tense, so it's present perfect.

¿Has dormido bién? = Have you slept well? or Did you sleep well?

Haber is extremely irregular, one of the very few. - KevinB, Oct 11, 2010

It is the present perfect structure for example:

Have you slept (well)

Your example is for the imformal tú

Try putting it into the translator above.

Srictly speaking "Did you sleep well?" = "¿Dormiste bien?
