Are Expedia and Travelocity reliable for international travel?

I am planning a trip to Europe and it is going to be quite a financial commitment for me--especially since I want to stay in really nice hotels. Has anyone booked 5-star European travel on Expedia or Travelocity? Were your reservations honored? Were the rooms what you expected? I have booked throught both services in the US but not in Europe. I would appreciate any feedback about your experiences. Thank you.

1. We didn't book 5 star, but we did travel to the UK via travelocity with no problems.
2. If you really want to book quality, book directly. All you're doing booking through Expedia or Travelocity is adding a middleman. That being said, if you must go with one, go with Travelocity. Expedia has quite a bad reputation among frequent travelers.
3. I must say that I've used both for travel in and around Europe without any problem. I find both reliable and efficient but I'm never quite sure if I'm really getting the best deal hotel wise - on one or two occasions I've gone back to a hotel I previously booked via expedia and been able to get a cheaper room rate - or a better room for the same price. Both are good for air fares however. Enjoy your trip
4. Jodie, thare are many better and cheaper ways to do reservations. I have been making mine via the Hotel club which is based somewhere in Australia, and has good prices. to sum up, I never had a problem with them.
