No practical experience of bamboo but IMHO the only practical floorings
for wet areas are ceramic floor tiles or vinyl sealed to the edges.
Wood and water do not mix no matter how many precautions and coats of
sealer.

The (painted) floorboards in the main bathoom have been happy for many
years. The new bathroom will be for adults only, and will be
considerably less splashed-in than the other.

Are floorboards especially water-tolerant?

If we did use bamboo, there'd be a step up to the bathroom, the bamboo
being thicker than the flooring on the landing. How would one normally
deal with that?

With ceramic tiles over 9mm ply, I've just made a sloping cill at the
door.
