Did anyone had this issue before ?

Answer 1

the problem that you are having is that the place is nil.
you can add a a try method like this
<td><%= review.place.try(:name) %></td>

Answer 2

The review has no associated places. So, You should implement a check before attempting to render it.
Try this:
<td><%= review.try(:place).try(:name) %></td>
