How do taxi fares work in Bodrum: is the meter price the same if you book through a hotel, hail a cab, or use a taxi app?

TL;DR
In Bodrum, regular yellow taxis generally use the taximeter, and travelers reported the fare was the same whether the taxi was called by a hotel or hailed in town. However, app estimates may not match the final metered fare, so confirm upfront that the ride will be charged by meter.
What the community said
Travelers say that when booking through an app, a standard yellow taxi may arrive and still run the taximeter. In one reported case, the final metered fare was about 2x higher than the app estimate, but the passenger got the difference refunded after filing a complaint.

One traveler reported that the metered fare was the same both ways, whether the taxi was arranged by the hotel reception or hailed in town. This suggests a standard taximeter fare for regular city taxis.
