"Wood" is a general term. Many different types of wood are made in engineered flooring.
Bamboo is generally considered to be soft. People express problems with scratching. Although this can be true with some types of wood as well.
Assuming the engineered wood and bamboo flooring are the same quality as far as their construction, the next thing you need to do is refer to is the Janka Hardness scale. See how the species of wood rates in comparison to bamboo.
Many sales people have been misinformed about the property of bamboo. It is a great looking floor, but has its disadvantages too.
