We have bamboo in the girls and master bedroom. I am not sure I would do it again. From a cost perspective - it was similar to other med range hardwoods.

It looks nice - we bought the solid flooring, not the engineered version.

BUT - if you scratch it across the grain, the scratch color is MUCH lighter than the surrounding wood - It is very difficult to blend a scratch. It does show heal marks - (wife wears high heels) but it is easy to clean and maintain.

What I do like is the cork flooring we used in our study/computer room and spare bedroom.

It's quiet - you do not notice any scratches/stains. It looks great - it doesn't show heel marks - and it's quiet and cleans up easily.
