Can you please tell me about these floors? Are they laminate or real wood? And what kind?

I know it is an old question but it looks like a bamboo hardwood to me, planks look to narrow and long to be laminate. Could be engineered, could be solid.

I agree with FF above, looks like flat grain bamboo. Most bamboos are laminates of bamboo. If you can see the holes in the materials at the joints, and they have depth, than it is probably not a laminate. If there is no depth and it looks as if someone printed them onto a substrate, than it is probably laminate.
