Override the filter from plugin in child theme

That’s not how filters work. Much like a filter in real life, something goes in, it gets changed, and the result goes out. Filters always take in a parameter and return something. They’re an opportunity to change something

So if we take this:

$review_num_fetch = apply_filters('tourmaster_review_num_fetch', 5);

This means the plugin uses 5, but it has given other code an opportunity to change this to another value. It does this by passing it to the tourmaster_review_num_fetch filter then using the result. So hook into that filter and return a different value to change it.

When that line runs, WP looks at all the filters registered, passes the value, and then replaces it with what the filter returned.

This is what a filter that adds 1 to the value looks like:

function addone( $in ) {
    $out = $in + 1;
    return $out;
}

And this is how you would add it:

add_filter( 'tourmaster_review_num_fetch', 'addone' );

With that you should have all the knowledge needed for implementing your solution
