Yelp expands to Turkey

This may be of interest to Turkish hostels. Yelp.com, the online rating and review site, has expanded into Turkey.

This marks the 20th country that Yelp has expanded its services, which include an app and on-the-ground community members that keep the data up-to-date.

Miriam Warren, Yelp VP of New Markets, says that its community building efforts will center around Istanbul first. But Yelp users across the country can now log in, create a profile and start rating on their own.

The Yelp site for Turkey is now live at Yelp.com.tr and users can create a profile now. Businesses who wish to claim their page and start building up their Yelp profile can do so via the business portal.
