Notes: The French expression un bon rapport qualité-prix, sometimes written un bon rapport qualité / prix, indicates that the price of some product or service (a bottle of wine, car, restaurant, hotel) is more than fair. You'll often see it or a variation in reviews and promotional materials.

To talk about a better value, you can make the adjective bon comparative or superlative:

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

To say that something is not a good value, you can either negate the sentence or use an antonym:

• Ce n'est pas un bon rapport qualité-prix, Il n'a pas un bon rapport qualité-prix - It's not a good value
   
• un mauvais rapport qualité-prix - poor value
• le pire rapport qualité-prix - worst value

While less common, it's also possible to use a different adjective altogether, such as

• un rapport qualité-prix incroyable - amazing value
• un rapport qualité-prix intéressant - good value
• un faible rapport qualité-prix - poor value
