Usage notes: Talk is cheap, but the French expression un bon rapport qualité-prix or un bon rapport qualité / prix indicates a good value for your money. It’s often found in product descriptions and reviews.

Par exemple…

Hôtel deux étoiles avec bon rapport qualité-prix   Good value two-star hotel

  Since bon is an adjective, you can make it comparative or superlative:

un meilleur rapport qualité-prix   better value
le meilleur rapport qualité-prix   best value

Antonymous expressions

To talk about something that is not a good value, you can negate the expression.

Par exemple…

Or use an antonym.

un pire rapport qualité-prix   worse value
le pire rapport qualité-prix   worst value

It’s also possible, though uncommon, to use a completely different adjective.
