value for money

Bang for buck

Value for money is the quality of being worth what you pay for it—a favorable ratio of benefit to cost.

The phrase appears in assessments and reviews: The hotel offers excellent value for money.

British usage favors this phrase; Americans more often say good value or worth the money.
