Compared to natural wood floors, engineered wood floors are better able to adapt to changes in the environment. However, you should still keep the bathroom dry so that the floor doesn't warp.
In the past, bathrooms were usually only paved with stone or ceramic tiles to prevent water infiltration. Wood floors seem to have never been considered for this space, especially natural wood with its high cost and moisture-absorbing properties.
