True! Venus takes 243 Earth days to spin once, but only 225 to orbit the Sun, so its day is longer than its year.

Venus rotates extremely slowly, and backwards compared to most planets. One full rotation takes about 243 Earth days, while a single trip around the Sun takes roughly 225 Earth days. That means if you could stand on Venus, a single day-night cycle would outlast a whole Venusian year.
