Is Bamboo flooring as durable as hardwood flooring?

Bamboo can be as durable as hardwood - Hardwood Flooring has many more options on the Janka Hardness chart though. For example Carbonized bamboo (1180 on the Janka chart) doesn't come near Maple ( Janka rating = 1450) and bamboo doesn't come near Ipe, the most durable hardwood in the world. Some bamboo floors are more durable than others (Teragren uses bamboo that has been matured for 5+years making it stronger) also if you decide to install bamboo make sure you keep the adhesive eco friendly as well.... you can really ruin the "going Green" aspect of bamboo flooring with the wrong adhesive!
