I wouldent put it in my bathroom or wood for that matter. If you want a wood look in there checkout Konecto easy to install and waterproof!

There are some nice vinyl sheet floors that look like laminate you could purchase for the bathroom...I personally wouldn't put laminate flooring or carpet in my bathrooms, but that might just be me...

It is the Humidty in the bathroom (most). I put wood in my sisters entry, living, hall, hallbath and kitchen/dinningroom.
I diddnt want to and nothing happend in the four years that she lived there. But had she had a leak it would have been BAD NEWS.

I been selling & install floors 30+ years, If the customer wants in bath area where shower/tub in,I , especially kids baths, MAKE sure they understand the humidity can be HARMFUL and we will not give warrenty for that area. Sell alot to DIY that install in kitchen, ifd they not get more than cup of water spilled and wiped up soon , its fine.
The Konecto vinyl is GOOD if installed properly, DO NOT contaminate (get the edges where sticky part is dirty or damp, if thius happens it WIIL come apart.

NO NO NO, not anywhere near where moisture will get in, on or around it.
it shrinks and swells when it gets wet.... not to mention mold and mildew that get under it.
Use high grade linoleum...
some of the higer grade stuff they have now adays is quite attractive durable, easy to install and inexpensive (relative to tile work)

Save yourself time and money in the long run. Tile the bathroom floors.
